Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the excellent summary of Sunday's birding, Ron! What a day!

I posted a set of photos yesterday evening, and I thought some of them would be of general interest. In particular, I took a series of photos that for me really hammered home identification of Eastern and Western Willet. The first photo in particular emphasizes how pronounced the differences can be! Thanks to Matt Hafner for the sanity check before posting. I'm just starting to feel more confident with these guys, though I admit it's mostly from a lack of study until recently. 

The set also includes photos of the Roseate Tern (documentation quality), a Greater Shearwater, and a recently arrived juvenile Ring-billed Gull, my first in this plumage.
