Sorry for the late post. These sightings are from Saturday 9/2/2006
Present were Jim Stasz, Matt Hafner, Mike Burchette, Hans Holbrook, Jim
Brighton, John Hubbel, Mikey Lutmerding and J.B. Churchill. If I hadn't
seen reports of Sooty Terns and Jaegers in other places that same day,
I'd say "I couldn't imagine better birding". But I won't say that now.
Some folks have ruined that for me ! Still it was pretty good. The
numbers are not very accurate but it was the best I could do so long
after the fact.
