--Boundary_(ID_mpSpbjFsOmT8fTMluDeH4g) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I found out that another friend of Lorelei's responded to her excitement over the unusual looking birds in her yard; he arrived with his camera and got a few photos. I posted 5 of them at the linked site copied below. Unfortunately the photo quality is very poor (blurred, low resolution) but perhaps there are enough details to be gleaned from the combination of photos to allow someone, very familiar with this group of birds, to make a reasonable ID attempt. Click on each individual photo for an enlargement. It is obviously not a rail but appears to be in the shorebird group. It appears to have a long bill that is curved downward: Long-billed Dowitcher ?, Whimbrel ? , etc. What do you think??? http://web.mac.com/sherm39/iWeb/Site/mystery_birds.html On 15/09/2008, at 9:04 PM, lorelei > Hi Sherman > I left a message on your phone on Sunday evening...we were on our > way out when I noticed an unusual bird on the lawn, it didn't seem > nervous or flighty.
