I took a few hundred digiscope images of shorebirds last week at Brilyea access area at Dead Creek WMA. On bird in particular defied positive ID, at least to my pitiful shorebird skills. I believe the bird is a Pectoral S., but a few fieldmarks left me with the nagging doubt that it may have been a Western S. The bird shared characteristics of both, but seemed more Pectoral-ish overall. Pics of this bird can be found at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Northern_NY_Birds/ then from the menu on the side, select - Photos - Questionable Shorebird Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. I hope to post a few others as I find time. Dana Rohleder Port Kent, NY "There's an old saying in Tennessee-I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee-that says, fool me once, shame on-shame on you.
