At the suggestion of Shawn Collins, and because a snowy is such a rarity, I'm giving more details.  It was a bright, sunny afternoon.  I was standing outside using my spotting scope.  The bird passed about fifty to a hundred feet from me, running along the sand.   What made me think snowy rather than something else was the combination of a thin, incomplete ring and dark legs.  The legs were a clear contrast to those of the Piping Plover, which was present at the same time.  If someone could suggest what I might have confused it with, I'd be happy to know.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera.  There were a couple of women who did take pictures, but I don't know who they were.
