Hi there Patrick and All;

There is an uncanny resemblance between the setup of two of the photos
posted on this site and the two which are on Joe Morlan's photo gallery
(http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~jmorlan/gallery.htm), taken in winter 2000. They
seem to be rescanned and cropped somewhat differently.

Is there some kind of confusion/mislabelling accident here?

Regards
Charlie Wright

Hello Tweets/and Obolers,

We have placed 5 additional photographs onto our yahoo website of recent
sightings including 2 photos of the Ruff taken yesterday at the Oyhut
Wildlife Area at Ocean Shores,Grays Harbor Co. and 3 photos also taken
yesterday of the "Priblof race"of Rock Sandpiper taken at the Ocean Shores
Jetty. The photo labeled ROSA1 shows the "Priblof race"Rock Sandpiper
centered by a Surfbird to the right and a dominant race Rock Sandpiper to
the left for size,structure and color comparison. The photographs primarily
of the Ruff are not of the best quality,but show proof of the sighting
considering the conditions and tolerability of the bird. We hope you enjoy
our photographs and our yahoo website can be accessed at:

thumbnail.

Sincerely,

Ruth and Patrick Sullivan
