Thanks Patrick, I appreciate the feedback as I don't often take the Kuebler exit. I knew I saw lots of peeps and yellowlegs in that congregation, but at 40 mph from Kuebler that's about all I could be sure of; I got the impression of small group of dowitchers as well, but again, at 40mph...anyway, I enjoy scrutinizing such flocks wherever they occur, whether it's late summer or late fall, on the off chance of finding an oddball. Last week there was a "flock" of a dozen Snipe at the south end of Mission Lake at Lowes, feeding at the shoreline among the little scrub willows. --John Shewey OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
