I won't be going, but other birders will be. I will be in New York state. If others (Jim, Hans, etc.) are interested in going and they request after tonight, I probably will not get the message. I won't be back till Monday night. I will inform MES that at least three of you will be going (Fred Shaffer, John Hubbell, and you) and that there may possibly be more. Good luck.

I say a good portion because we succumbed to the heat about half way around. However, the birds were still incredible as always. Sorry for not posting this sooner, but a next day big day and college move-in got in the way. Here are the highlights: > > Cinnamon Teal - molting adult male, noticeably darker on the head than the Blue-wings present, while the chest and flanks were the characteristic reddish-brown of adult male Cinnamon Teal > Baird's Sandpiper - 24 > Black Tern - 2 > Long-billed Dowitcher - 2 > Red Knot - 3 > plus lots of other shorebirds!! > > I plan to go out again on Saturday.
