Again, I recommend the new photo galleries from Canadian birders at http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=1319832&MLID=SHO&MLNM=Shorebirds . These birds, some still in worn alternate plumage, but most showing a bit or a lot of basic plumage, were photographed at close range recently in Canada. We will be seeing these birds about now in Ohio on their journeys south; our numbers will not match the Canadian ones, as Ohio spots are no longer large or clean or frequent enough to support the migration. Bon voyage to them! Bill Whan ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
