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.
