CURLEW SANDPIPER - seen yesterday

[Tim Avery <tanager at timaverybirding dot com>]

I sent this once, and it hasn't gone through yet.  But lets try again.  I jsut
receieved a call form Glenn Barlow, letting me know that Keith Evans and John
Belmon relocated teh Curlew Sandpiper jsut past the first bridge (out form the
entrnace, not from the island) on the southside of the causeway.  This is about
a mile further form teh entrance than the bird was previously reported.  THe
bird was in the rocks in this area.  A note, shorebird numbers are dramatically
down, as the shallow flats on the northside that were previously covered with
shorebirds, are now dry.  I was at the causeway this mornign before I recieved
the message, and saw very few "peep-like" birds.  I may yet head back today to
take a second look.  If not I will go up tomorrow.  Keep looking, if this lil'
bird is still around, it could be easier to find with the reduced #'s of birds
and habitat!

Good Birding
