I live in Los Angeles, and just enjoyed a trip to Acadia. At the end of the Wonderland trail, I saw a single shorebird flying. It was headed almost due west at 8am, so the sun was behind it.
Size estimate = rock pigeon size, but it was hard to determine how far away it was flying.
The long bill should make the options pretty narrow - dowitcher? yellowlegs?
Looks like a white rump in one of the pictures. No apparent coloration to the wings (which led me to rule out willet), but I never saw it through my binoculars.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. You've got some great birding out there.
2 poor, distant pictures can be seen here:
