Hi All, 
I was pleased to see two young Kildeer--small but fully fledged--at the TTU 
Credit Union.  (In the parking lot: they weren't actually in line).  
Meanwhile there's this fine article in the NY Times today with great graphics, 
about a sandbank off Edisto Island in South Carolina coast that is hugely 
important to shorebirds, especially whimbrels.
