Tweets,
Just got back from Lopez this afternoon and I wanted to say a big Thankyou
to Jim Flynn for posting the message, that was routed to him.
Unfortunately I could not get a picture, but watched them well, flight
pattern, feeding behavior and the lot and they were Stilts, though the
large number I'm sure it makes some of you wonder about my sanity level,
well let me assure you thats its fine, I could not believe it myself 46
Stilt Sandpipers, the most I'd ever seen before at one spot was three.
THey were there the following morning, yet could not find them by evening
time.
Nothing else really all that great, when I get time I'll post a highlights
list though it might be a while, I'm leaving on Monday for a week up the
Skykomish.
