Someone mentioned to me today that I was overdue for something new on my web site (although I have been working on moth content, with two new underwing species for Jamaica Bay recently). As for birds, I needed something to work with. This Avocet will do. I posted a picture at http://www.stevewalternature.com/ , for anyone interested (I understand Avocets are not for everyone).
What else, as long as I’m wasting space on the list? A WESTERN SANPIPER here and there, among the gazillions of Semis. Maybe not quite that many, but it seemed like that was the only shorebird species south of the island. STILT and PECTORAL SANDPIPERS were 2 each, at least.
