Sure, we're always looking for curlew sandpipers, you say. But might we sloppily scan a distant flock of dunlins and miss one of these? http://www.howardsview.com/MaleCurlewSandpiper/MaleCurlewSandpiper.html has nice photos of an alternate adult kindly contributed by a New Jersey birder yesterday morning. Outstanding. Just checking. And if you find one, make sure to tell Jen Brumfield about it; I hear she's been looking a long time for one...
