I took this picture yesterday at the Bear River Bird Refuge in Northern Utah.

I caught it from a distance and didn't know it was something I'd never seen before until I took a closer look today on the computer. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I see it now. Thanks! I'm pretty new at birding and had no idea where to start on that one.

That long, thin bill pretty much means shorebird or hummingbird.
