Rick, Elliot, Gene and Jim,

Thanks mucho for the tips!  I will be keeping an eye out, but will 
especially watch the Hart-Miller reports.  Doubly appreciate the tip about 
dirt ground, Jim, since I have been looking primarily at short grass.

 I keep forgetting to look in my Balto book...but did find the Hart-Miller 
entry and its emphasis on buffies after my post (thank you Eliot).  What a 
goldmine this volume is!  Gene, can you give us an idea of what 
conditions are on the island at this point, and where the birds might be 
located in reference to the landing dock?  I have been told to be ready for 
roughing it.
