I found the Avocet about 2:50pm that was first found by Davied Neveu. It was towards the power plant close to the beach associating with Canada Geese and Ring-billed Gulls, swimming and wading. After photos I left for the Main St. beach and found Robert Ungerer of Lakewood and Ranjit Laha of Jamestown and took them to the Avocet. We found it way to the right near the wooden docks off Bert's Cove associating with about 40+ Mallards and a Redhead and with a Coot, Hooded Merganzer and Horned Grebe nearby. The Avocet is very late in the migration schedule and appears to spend an inordinate amout of time swimming.
The Avocet is in the SW end of the harbor with parking and good viewing off the Conservation Club.grounds.
