You know, it's just now occurred to me that early April is a unheard-of-early date for Semipalmated Sandpiper in Vermont. I now don't know what I was thinking (or seeing) in that flooded field in Plainfield yesterday. I only had beat-up binos in the car and simply might have blown the call on some distant, scrunched-up Killdeer. How embarrassing. (It was blowing snow, after all.) Stranger things have happened, but I'll go double-check today. Sorry.
