FreeLists / bristol-birds / [Bristol-Birds] CORRECTION to report made for Saturday, March 19

[MerlinZ02@xxxxxxx]

After re-reading my bird books, I realized I mis-IDed the Yellowlegs at 
Rankin Wildlife Management Area.  The 3 birds were LESSER YELLOWLEGS.  I had 
the 
alarm call backwards.  
While I was watching 2 Yellowlegs, a 3rd came in thus upsetting the first 2.  
The alarm call given was a series of 2 to 3 loud TEWS.  Reviewing just now my 
bird book, I see that I had backwards the alarm calls and the Lesser 
Yellowlegs performs 1 to 3 TEWS while the Greater performs 3 or more.  
(National 
Geographic Society).  The birds were inbetween breeding plumages.

The never ending struggling process of IDing shorebirds continues for me. :)

Sorry for any confusion.
