All: Rita Viau sent some very nice photos she had taken of an adult Curlew Sandpiper at River Bourgeois, Richmond Co., on Sunday 24 August. I was largely in Basic Plumage, but with little washes of chestnut remaining ventrally from the Alternate (breeding) plumage. There have now been nearly 30 sightings of this Old-World vagrant here, more than half since Tufts' third edition (1986), but still a rare sight. Rita has given the o.k. so I placed one photo on the NS-RBA photo site for all to admire. Note the rangey structure, with long neck and small head, and long projection of wings and tail - quite unlike the somewhat look-alike Dunlin. Cheers, Ian McLaren
