[CORRECTION] THE COAST GOT ITS BIRDS CROSSED LAST WEEK.

Correction

The Coast got its birds crossed last week.

A story profiling the willet, a hardy and prevalant Outer Banks

shore bird, was accurate. But photo captions mixed up identification

of the willet and its smaller relatvie, the sandpiper. The birds

pictured on last week's cover are, in fact, sandpipers, the experts

tell us. The larger - not smaller - birds pictured inside are

willets. In the photo at left, the larger birds are willets and the

smaller are sandpipers.
