Phil and all--
    A visiting birder from TN, in the area trying for the kelp gull, called
after he'd gotten the Kelpster, and left a message on our home machine
saying he knew it sounded strange, but he thought he had a possible spotted
redshank at Assateague on Saturday. Unfortunately, he was calling from a pay
phone and driving back to TN, and our machine cuts messages off at one
minute, so we didn't get the full details. He's an ABA member with an email
address, so I'll write to him and ask if he can post further details. Jane
