Wandering Tattler

["Pomera M. Fronce" <pinkstring at xmission dot com>]

Hi Folks -

Just a bit more on the Wandering Tattler.  As Kris reported, the bird 
was first seen on the north side of the causeway just east of the bridge 
nearest the marina.  We observed the bird (nonbreeding plumage) for 
about 1 1/2 hours (from 3:15 to 4:45) at this location as he alternately 
foraged for food and rested in the rocks.  He stayed within a few feet 
of the shoreline.

The bird then flew west, went under the bridge and landed on the south 
side of the causeway in the rocks near where the water flows under the 
bridge.  Jack and Bob were still watching the bird in this second 
location at 5:00 when Steve, Cindy and I left the island.  

We were in such a hurry to get home after our half-day birding adventure 
turned into ten hours that we completely missed the American Golden 
Plover.  Could I get a wake up call for 6:00?

Pomera
