All,



Made it out to the pass created by Hurricane Charley at North Captiva (AKA
Charley Pass), Lee County, Florida today, Sun 10 Sep 06.  Too bad it is only
accessible by boat (too bad for birders, good for the birds.except when
there are a lot of boaters present.).  Large numbers of terns, gulls, and
pelicans use the extensive mud flats on the bayside (Pine Island Sound) to
roost, and lots of shorebirds foraging in the area as well.  Had my first of
the season Dunlin in post alternate molt (black belly still very obvious),
and yet another lime flag (VYK) banded Red Knot in a small group of 6.
