> I'm new to Tweeters - where is Rocky Point? Thanks.

Welcome! Rocky Pt. is just about the extreme southern Point of Vancouver
Island, across the Straits of Juan de Fuca from the Olympic Peninsula. The
Canadian Wildlife Service has been operating a cooperative bird banding project
there for the past several years (4 or 5 now, I think). As usual when you stick
a mistnet up, there are lots of surprises, especially re. night-migrating
passerines. For example, a species moving through in numbers was previously
thought to be only accidental on Van. I. is the N. Waterthrush.
