[Tweeters] M Street Marsh shorebirds - 5.18.24

[MARVIN BREECE via Tweeters]

You have been busy, Janeanne. Whew!! Part of the issue with IDing the dows is getting close enough to get a good look.  And either they are moving so fast you can't see them, or their heads are tucked.  On most of my recent shorebird videos I have slowed them by half!  Really.  These birds move too quickly for us humans to see them.

Hey, Marv, 
 
….two recitals finished, a demo lesson,  juries finished, and a reception in Tacoma.   I am wiped out, but I just enjoyed the heck out of your videos, and hope we can  make it down there tomorrow.  The videos are all so good, and so interesting.   Thanks for the location tips, too.  You have some very fine documentation in them, and I plan to study that Short billed Dow, too.  So clear!
 
Now, to get comfy and remember who I am…. 
 
Janeanne
