Good luck to you! I am in Barbados right now, and yesterday was taken out where we saw 37 species. One of them is not one your list of species seen in 2012: Stilt Sandpiper at the Congo Shooting Swamp.

Cheers

Thanks JE,
We did visit Chancery Lane but in bad light. We saw teals but nowhere near the numbers you report here.

Thanks, but no, we will be traveling back Saturday. I am at the St Lawrence gap and have enjoyed the sanderlings and turnstones on the beach in front of us.

Have you been down to Inch Marlowe point? I think that was where we had some very cooperative Semipalmated plovers.

JE, remember the possible LA Bullfinch/hybrid you found? I wonder if you find it again if you would post new pictures, it will be interesting to see if it stays mottled or if it moults to black?

I saw it again at the same location but was unable to get quality photographs. It looks the same i'm starting to belielive that it is a hybrid.

Niels where did you see the Southern Lapwing?

 

[njlarsen]

Do you know where a place called Alaska Shooting Swamp is? Far up north. A little further west, but on small roads I do not know, there was another small pond with these and a couple of domestic type mallards.
