Hello Tweeters,
I got all my photos back, and there are good.Consider the condition i
had.Early in the morning and drizzle rain.Looking at James Flyns photo on
the beach ,i could swear it was my photo.I also have a photo in flight
where you can see the white rump.There is a photo of a breeding bird
photographed on May 10th 1972 at the Potholes Res. photo by Darlene
Meyer.Showing in "RARE BIRDS of the WEST COAST.Since both birds got lots of
white showing on there wings, i believe there are both females ,both James
and the bird here in Washington have long bills. I am glad that i have proof
with my photos,in case no one will find this bird back.Its close to a week
since it was found,and most of this birds never stayed more than six days.
