Funny that this should turn up now considering that Roy Lukes was just talking
about one time back in the '80s I think it was when someone found a flock of
nearly three-thousand Whimbrels in Door County. I believe the estimate was that
the flock contained nearly 1/5th of the entire world population? Something like
that.
Anywho, just thought it was interesting considering that this report is less
than a week later.......
I hope Wayne gets over there to photograph that. That must be one heck of a
sight to see!
Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be
again."
(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
