>Correction to Spring NAMC results:

>An Upland Sandpiper sighting was mistakenly reported as part of the Spring
>NAMC results. In fact an unconfirmed, April 21st Upland Sandpiper sighting
>on an island in the Columbia River near Avery Park was made, which became
>confused with some other shore bird sightings at Glenwood Mill Pond. This
>unconfirmed sighting was not a part of the Klickitat County NAMC. Sorry for
>the confusion.
