I think I figured out why the TOC Whimbrel watch ended up with 0 Whimbels yesterday after something like 1700 left the Delmarva Pen. the night before:
Subject: 1500 Whimbrels - Door Co From: "Anne Moretti" <amoretti AT wi.rr.com> Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 18:50:03 -0500 I just received a phone call from Maureen Gross about 2 large flocks of Whimbrels, numbering about 1500 total, in Bailey's Harbor near the lighthouse and at Toft's Point. They were alerted by the sound they made and wondered what it was. Wayne Rohde is still in Door Co, also, but she didn't have his phone number. If anyone can notify him, I'm sure he'd appreciate it. He's camping at Peninsula State Park. There were a few Black-bellied Plovers and Ruddy Turnstones in with the Whimbrel's. On behalf of Maureen Gross Mukwonago Waukesha Co.
