I thought some of you might be interested in this post I lifted from the RIBirds list. It is from an observer on Block Island: "Last evening there were a few hunderd cory's shearwaters foraging off the south end of the island in a narrow band that extended SE-NW for ~1-2 miles. I estimated a conservative 400 cory's and about 5 greaters were seen. It was truly spectactular! Reading the MA & NY lists confirm that this is an excellent year for shearwaters! I had my first southbound short-billed dowitcher on the third, and yesterday I observed a pectoral sandpiper come in over the water from the mainland. Fall migration begins! And I heard woodcock displaying, still!, last evening. Cheers! -Tom M." Don Morgan Coventry **************Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.
