Many migrants today Saw 2 Bristle-thighed Curlew, 100's of Golden Plover & Red-billed Terns, 5 Pectoral Sandpipers, 1 Dunlin, 1 Willet ♂♂ 3 Sanderlings, 4 Wandering Tattler. Also 1 duck looks much like Scamp but: 1) Bill black tipped, rest pale pale 2) Bill ½ between Canvas & Scamp in slope from head, not the Red head or Scamp dips from head, but not as flat as Canvas. 3) Darker color on back & flanks than Scamp, wings dark brown or black. 4) Broad (1-1½") stripe of white from body almost to tips of primaries - much bolder than either N. Amer. Scarp. TUFTED DUCK Met Jim Prarie, Mary 'Leakee' who is watching birds, recording band # for & birding up, recovering for us in Mexico. Much zeal & fairly good knowledge of the birds. but came on again today - everything met. Try for Bonin Isl. Pet. We ran. For Bonin Isl. Petal Returns see over:
