Make that definite Red Knots at Montezuma on Tuesday. Chuck Gibson just sent me some photos of the birds and gave me permission to post them.

Chuck said he would check for them some time this morning, but please post if you look! -Jay P.S. Myers Point was nice and rainy this morning but without too much activity. Highlights were yet another RUDDY TURNSTONE on the spit and three AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS out on the lake. Also at least seven bright adult Herring Gulls on the spit.
