 a last minute decision to go. First off this young birder went to see the =
little egret at Cow Bay yesterday and he reports three whimbrels there. =20

=20

Today=2C just before the Waverly exit=2C there was a turkey vulture.  At Fo=
lly Mountain we had two mourning warblers.  At Amherst Point highlights wer=
e four American bitterns=2C numbers of sora rails with the first one being =
wide open and found and seen within seconds of arrival.  I saw one Virginia=
 Rail.  Black terns were about nine.  Of note as per the mention of Clarenc=
e and Clarence earlier there was a lack of American coots and moorhens.  Al=
so=2C absent were northern shoveller and teal species. =20
