Well it sure was a good day to be a birder! Went to photograph the Black-headed Gull at Orchard Beach this early pm and got a 100 or so great shots of it in the lot. When I got home at about 12:30pm I saw a Corn Crake was spotted on the Island so of course dropped everything and zoomed down there. Even though there was traffic at the bridge I managed to get down there before the rain and had great looks at it for about 10 minutes! How exciting!! Never thought I'd see this bird in the US. Wow, what a find. Good job by the finders. Andrew Andrew v. F.
