Also those interested in the Brown Booby should keep an eye out on the Vermont list serv. Birders on the east side of the lake, won't be reporting here.

As far as I am aware, the last sighting of the booby was two days ago, heading east across the lake from Westport, NY. It has not been reported since. That sighting was itself about 20 miles north of where the bird had been hanging out for the two days when many people were able to see it.

Negative reports are just as important as positive ones on the list serves. Of course, let's keep in mind "Avocetgate" and not develop the habit of posting "Rare Bird NO" every hour because it might annoy some people who may find it just as or more irritable as "Rare Bird YES," every hour.

While there have been no sightings of the Common Ringed-Plover after the day it was found there certainly is a tremendous amount of habitat in the Cupsogue area and any reports, positive or negative would be very helpful. Somewhat surprising (to me, at least) is the lack of excitement regarding the Lake Champlain Brown Booby on this list. It seems in recent past the birds of this species showing up on inland bodies of water in the NE tend to stick around for some time. This is a bird that many people downstate would appreciate updates on towards the end of the week. In the field these days, conversation seems to always touch on the difficulties birders are having finding up to date information on rare birds in this new age of technology. There are many options and people have their favorite methods, but I am worried about the future of this list if the current trend continues. If we don't use it, we surely will loose it.
