The juvenile CURLEW SANDPIPER was still present early this  morning (Monday)
between at least 8:30 - 10:30 am at Jaeger Rocks in Fort  Erie, loosely
assoicating with a juv. Dunlin.  Also as Willie D.  noted, the bird is very flighty
with the Killdeer, thus it would be helpful  to approach slowly and then scan.
Other shorebirds present were several  Killdeer and 4 Greater Yellowlegs.
Also around were a few Palm and  YR Warblers, fly-over American Pipit, and
Sharp-shinned Hawk.
