Most likely flagged birds are red knots, sanderlings, and ruddy turnstones. I got a color-flagged turnstone at Port Mahon just last Saturday! This is the Western Atlantic Shorebird Association website. It has a really neat data entry system, as well as clickable maps of observations along the Western Atlantic coast.) At Bombay Hook this morning, I was pleased to note the arrival of the season's first semipalmated sandpipers. Also present were large numbers of black-bellied plovers (fields along Whitehall Neck Road), least sandpipers, sb dowitchers, yeller-legs, willet, and bottom-bobbin' spotties. :-) cheers, shireen ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
