Howdy,

I'm still fighting with my point and shoot camera to get it to focus and
fire on moving targets within 3-6 seconds of locating the object. I'm
getting close, so have posted a series of Black Swift photos from northern
Vancouver Island BC. Also is a photo of a recently found nest site north of
Vancouver BC (courtesy Rick Toochin). These images can be accessed from
www.birdinfo.com/recentpostings.html

Lot's more updates to the web site have been made recently, including a
great study of Long-billed and Short-billed Dowitchers side by side (photos
by Ralph Hocken).

Cheers,

Michael G. Shepard
