Flamingos @ Snake Bight

Sorry for the late post-
On Friday, 6/18, 23 Greater Flamingos were feeding in Snake Bight about 200 yards off of the boardwalk. We use bikes to get out there- the mosquitos would be hell on foot.

Also, there were several winter plumage Black-bellied Plovers and Willets...what's the deal? I have often thought that there might be some juveniles that don't make it back north in the first year- but would they skip a molt too? If anyone has any information on this, please pass it on.

cheers

David
