Sat. Oct 7 / 06 - Very high tide (1.18 p.m.)
Shorebirds around Wolfville harbour mid-to-late afternoon:
Hudsonian Godwit : 1 - Starr's Point mudflats, 1 - Wolfville harbour
Black-bellied Plover: 5 - Starr's Point mudflats, 13 - roost on dyke
rocks opp. Wolfville sewage ponds.
Short-billed Dowitcher : 2 - Wolfville harbour
Lsr. Yellowlegs : 1 - Wolfville harbour
Semipalmated Plover : 23+ in a flock flying in from Minas Basin heading to
the mudflats.
In a further flock of ~ 40 shorebirds also roosting on dyke rocks opp.
Wolfville sewage ponds I was able to note 3 Dunlin, 3 White-rumped
Sandpiper, 8 Least Sandpiper, some Semipalmated Sandpipers and more
Semipalmated Plovers, before a Bald Eagle passed over and they all took
flight.
Mention of Yew berries reminded me that early Sat. afternoon, I found two
Hermit Thrushes eating the bright fruits of the Yew from our one and only
bush in the garden. A small flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers and Red-breasted
Nuthatches were also foraging on the edge of the woods before moving on.
Cheers,
Judy Tufts
