Howdy all! Well, my _mystery_ sandpiper sketches, notes, and a hand-drawn composite are all scanned now and will be ready to go online this evening. Sorry for the delay. The scanner at work was on the fritz this week (a leftover 85MB temp file was rendering it helpless). I'll add a link from my home page at: http://www.erols.com/gregorym I'm a little disappointed with the composite as it came out a bit more colorful and everything more yellow than the original (notice the yellow color of the white paper). Edging on the feathers on the lesser and median coverts should be cream, not yellow. The reddish color on the shoulder should be more muted and more of an apricot coloration. The legs look yellowish, but should be medium gray with a tinge of green (see the original notes and sketches). Happy viewing... -Greg Miller Lusby, MD
