I was successful in seeing the two black-necked stilts in Liverpool this ev=
ening.  Thank you Peter and Dorothy.

=20

The birds flew and were vocal=2C at around 19:30.  Something spooked them. =
 Not me=2C but possibly two teenagers who were in the area.  The stilts fle=
w towards Brooklyn=2C low over the recycling property. =20

=20

There were 42 bufflehead there when I arrived.  I at first did not see the =
stilts and I looked long and hard on the inside the the inlet.  I only spot=
ted them as I walked back in from the point.  So I'm not sure if they had b=
een further out and the young people=2C when going to the shoreline on the =
rocks=2C scared them in or if they were there all along.  The one was on th=
e shoreline preening=2C and the other was walking along in the water.

=20

Another note=2C watch or check for ticks.  There seems to be an abundance o=
f them in that area.  I found three tiny wood ticks afterwards.  They crawl=
ed off my sweater onto my hands as I was eating at a restaurant.  These tic=
ks were definitely wood ticks=2C but the size of the writing part of a pen =
when pressed closest to the paper that you are writing on.
