Hi Rosemary too,

I agree with Bruce's coments. The Dowitcher has a complex pattern of
internal markings on the tertial and lower scapular feathers, which suggests
a juvenile-plumaged Short-billed. The turnstone is not a Rock Sandpiper.

Very nice photo gallery. A question - a 500mm. Canon L series lens is big
and heavy. How do you carry it when traveling - hand-luggage or checked, and
attached to a camera or separate?

Richard
