See the e-mail below from Rob Taylor. If my intel is correct, I believe the said Avocet flew off the spit earlier this morning??

There were 2 obnoxious guys that walked onto the spit and were chasing the birds away, so chances are they spooked the avocet away. Could you please post this on ABA? I know it's sometimes helpful to post non-sightings too.
