Patrick & Tweets,

Comment? OK , eight days earlier than any records I'm aware of and a high
number in spring for inland--
hum-m-m-m-m. I wish I'd been there and had a camera. I wish I knew how
certain Tom was of his ID of those 12 birds. I wish I knew how familiar
Tom was with Pectoral Sandpipers.
