Yesterday, while birding with David Muth, Dan Purrington, and Phillip Wallace, we spotted this all-white Dunlin on Gladu Road near the old Vincent mini-refuge north of Kaplan (click on photo to enlarge). Though Dunlin are incredibly abundant shorebirds, I've never seen a pure white one. As a matter of fact, although I've seen dozens of cafe-au-lait shorebirds or shorebirds with abnormal patches of white here and there, this is only the second all-white shorebird that I can remember off the top of my head. A pretty exciting bird, I think.
