Acknowledgments

The Virtual Birder would like to thank Shawn Carey who provided all of the photos in this tour. This tour would not have been possible without his photos and guidance. Be sure to visit The Gallery (Waders) to see better quality copies of Shawn's outstanding slides. If you get the chance, attend one of his multi-image slide shows or photo workshops to experience the full impact of his photography. Thanks also go to Simon Perkins of Massachusetts Audubon for offering his identification expertise.
