Hi,

I received the message below and just passing it on.

Bob,

Shortly after you left this morning a large flock of shorebirds flew into
the coulee, apparently scared off of where they were by hunters. Steve
Frazier had arrived and so we began to sort through the peeps. The Sharpie
was there! Not only was he there but he brought friends, two to be exact.
We were able to observe them for quite some time, until another hunting
party showed up frightened them off. I was very excited,as was Steve. I did
scout around to see if I could find where they went, but to no avail. I
feel much relief that I was able to share this with Steve and that now
confirmation is possible. I wish that the little beggars could have been
there this morning. I tried to send into Tweeters we'll see if it goes.
Good Birding.

Doug
