HI ALL:
This is from Dennis Paulson, NOT me! Please respond to him!

Hello, birders.

I am presently working on a photographic guide to the shorebirds of
the USA and Canada. It will feature full treatment of all 91 species
recorded from these countries. I have about 2/3 of the 500 or so
photos I need for it already, but there are quite a few that have
proven difficult to acquire in my first search. If any of you have
varied collections of good shorebird photos from anywhere in the
world and are interested in having them published, please contact me.
As you might guess, I probably have good photos of most of the
plumages of all of the common North American shorebirds, but there
are a few gaps, and more gaps in Eurasian species. I still need lots
of flight photos and photos comparing similar species, and I plan to
have numerous photos in some hard-to-identify groups such as stints,
dowitchers, golden-plovers, and others, so I can show plumage
variation.

I'm working against a deadline so am hoping for quick and massive
response! The publisher, of course, will pay for photos used.
Many thanks.
