We also had a juvenile SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER on the algae mat located in the northeastern corner of the same pond while the continuing adult PECTORAL SANDPIPER was on the dike just west of the algae mat. Shortly after we arrived at eastern edge of the "west" pond [just before 9 AM] Frank and I spotted a single Black Tern as we were watching a flock of WILSON'S PHALAROPES flying over the pond. This BLTE continued moving north until we lost sight of it beyond the northern edge of the pond. Later as we were leaving [a little after 10 AM] we spotted two closely interacting BLTEs foraging over the central portion of the pond. A short time later we had four closely interacting BLTEs near the northern edge of the pond (at this point we decided to leave before I ran out of fingers to count on ;-). Mike Mammoser and Peter LaTourrette who were watching the same birds may have ended up with an even higher count! Good luck, Bob Reiling, 11:30 AM, 8/16/03 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
