At a guess a juvenile: light rump compared to both the tail and back, non-uniform gray wings with darker edges. As seen in flight, it had a prominent, dark, vertical bar in front of the wings that extended part way down into white underparts, white forehead, black behind the eye, broad winged for a tern. On our way out to the ponds, we saw at least two VAUX'S SWIFTs and under the long line of 10' high bushes on the right before the radar station we watched a SORA and a juvenile VIRGINIA RAIL for quite a while. The PECTORAL SANDPIPER was still in and around the algae mat in the NE corner of the west pond. Roland Kenner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
