The fun never stops. On Wednesday I spent the high tide at Hortonville. The=
re was one American Golden Plover male that was not far from breeding pluma=
ge=2C basically showing worn golden edges on the back feathers and some whi=
te (not all) showing in the vent area. I didn't photograph it.=20


There was an exceptionally pale Short-billed Dowitcher that I can only desc=
ribe as gorgeous. You'll have to view it to believe it. Our local experts a=
ll agree it lacks pigment=2C for whatever reason. Three different views are=
 shown.


Lastly=2C I photographed one of Julie Paquet / Diana Hamilton's Semipalmate=
d Sandpipers that was flagged AND given a nanotag on August 13th in Avonpor=
t. You can clearly see the nanotag antenna in the first photo=2C at the rea=
r=2C and the flag is readable as KYU. I think I can say Julie was pretty ex=
cited about this photo.


I added a fourth photo to the Bank Swallow story to eliminate any question =
as to its ID.
