Observed 20 min around 10 until it flew and showed white rump and wing stripe. Then lost in heat shimmers. Obvious secured bill. A bit smaller than adjacent pecs. Scalloped brownish back and brownish wash on upper breast, especially towards sides of upper breast. Plain whitish belly. Could not be sure of leg color because of distance and mud on legs of birds. Rump white all the way across clearly visible in flight." *********** You received this message because you are subscribed to eBird's Rare Bird Alert for Seneca Manage your eBird alert subscriptions: http://ebird.org/ebird/alerts -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
