Checklist Comments

Parked at Little Compton Town Landing and walked nearly a mile to the beach over sometimes tricky rocks. Flamingo is in the large bay on the west side of the beach, a couple hundred yards beyond the last lifeguard station. We would not have known to look there and not in the ocean if not for a helpful beachgoer.

It took me about 30 seconds to write this helpful description. All but one checklist I saw gave no useful information about this bird. Do better, people. Some folks are traveling well out of their way to see this bird.
