DITTO TO BETTY P. RARITY ASIDE , MY FAVORITE PHOTO IS THE SHORT -BILLED DOWITCHER IN A/P/ IT IS BEAUTIFUL COLOR BUT IT IS STILL A BULLS-EYE COMPOSITION. I DO RELLY LOVE, LOVE , LOVE THE RUNNING COMENTARY. YOU ARE A WIT! IF I SAW THIS BIRD FROM A DISTANCE , I WOULD CALL IT A KILLDEER. THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE RARITY HUNTERS. LOVE CC

AS USUAL, GREAT PICS OF THE LATEST OC RARITY AND OTHER BOLSA CHICA RESIDENTS.
GLAD YOU GOT TO SEE THE PLOVER AND SHARE YOUR TALENTS AND YOUR ENTHUSIASM WITH THOSE OF US WHO WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT DOWN THERE ANYTIME SOON. THANKS.
