Correction! Been watching too many Black-*winged* Stilts recently in
Spain! Before you all get excited, what we saw today were Black-necked
Stilts!

Paul Bedell, Gerry Weinberger and I birded at Hog Island this morning.
Shorebirds were few and distant as the water levels are very high. We were
surprised to see a couple of Black-winged
Stilts. Large numbers of Great Blue Herons, no other egrets or herons. We
had six Bald Eagles in the air at one time and a flock of Cedar Waxwings
were feasting on mulberries.
