Hi Don and all
A number of years ago, Egdar and Fran Spalding and I did a short but productive 5 day birding trip to Arizona in late April. We stayed a night or 2 at Cave Creek Research station in the Chiricahua Mtns at about 5400 feet altitude. I woke early the first morning and took a peak out the window and there was a flock of shorebirds on the grounds of the station. They were Willets and the flock spent the whole day on the grounds as they shifted slightly as people moved around them. Abot 6 pm. they took off. It was quite a sight and as you say, not one that we expected.
cheers
Ken

Carol and I had our first willet of the year on a stretch of highway near the New Mexico, Arizona border. It flew up from the road and showed its telltale wing markings. This was in the desert with no water in the vicinity. Not a bird we would have expected.
