This afternoon at 1730 hours I observed one sanderling on Little Detroit Lake. When I first saw it I thought it was going to be the piping plover due to the pale coloration, but no such luck. Very nice looks from approx. 15 feet. Pale gray overall appearance, black bill and legs, black "shoulders", feathers on the back were gray, but traced with chestnut brown and black (changing plumage?). Primaries extended past the tail when at rest. Life is good.
Also, FOY palm warbler among the yellow rumps today. _________________________________________________________________ Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_QuickAdd1_052009 ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
