I tried to send this yesterday so week-end birders would be able to
enjoy the info, but unfortunately I could not get my cell phone to
send the email.


Thanks to all who responded to my RFI the other day. (Ryan, Scott &
George, Matt, Guy, & Drew.)

We went to Westport first since Mike Marsh & co reported nothing of
the kind at Brown's Point. Searching the breakwater near the the
marina proved fruitless. We headed to the great big jetty and were
prepared to hike the entire jetty if necessary. Fortunately we found
shorebirds right at the base of the jetty including; ROCK SANDPIPER
12, SURFBIRD 15, BLACK TURNSTONE 40, and in the sand dunes 5 HORNED
LARKS (one very yellow). And the adventure continues...
