Lapwing Seekers,
Recent reports on the Lapwing's status are scarce. Therefore, take note of
this from a posting Thursday afternoon "Maryland Lapwing - no luck" on the
Virginia birdmail list (accessible via
http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/VABD.html)
"I tried Wednesday afternoon and this morning for the Lapwing near
Creagerstown, MD. No luck. A couple from New York may have seen the bird
briefly around 3 PM Wednesday in the field opposite the Creagerstown
cemetery, but they weren't positive."
(I don't want to spread pessimism, but having recently driven 1,200 miles
one-way to not see an Ivory Gull in Nova Scotia, I'm - shall we say -
sensitive.)
