Hello, all. If you are reading this, then I've been successful in resubscribing to NatureNS, after almost a year off. Further to a posting I passed along via Suzanne Borkowski on Feb. 10th, this is to let you know I saw semipalmated sandpiper again, in exactly the same location. I saw 18 (eighteen) of them at about 1230 pm today, Feb 20th. Light flurries, light breezes. Again, they were on the muddy beach on the receding tide, pulling worms out of the mud. For the interest of those who didn't see my Feb 10th notice, it was between Three Fathom Harbour and Terminal beach, east of Dartmouth, beyond Lawrencetown. To reach the location, travel on Hwy. #207 past Lawrencentown Beach, and turn onto Three Fathom Harbour Road. Park near the trail access at Rocky Run, and hike west, back towards Lawrencetown. At this point, I'll paste in the directions I gave ten days ago: To reach the somewhat isolated beach, here are two ways to get to it: 1. Start from the Three Fathom Harbour Road and head west (towards Lawrencetown) on the trail. Past the Rocky Run bridge, but before the flat marshy area where Soras and Ring-Necked Ducks can be heard or seen in the summer, follow a path on your left into the woods. Go all the way out to the beach, and then walk along it to the right. That's where the Semis were. other way: 2. Walk west along the trail until you reach paths going off it to the left, when the land rises to the Terminal Beach cliffs. Walk along a path to the left until you find one of the paths that go out to the beach. You will then be approaching the beach from the other direction. cheers, Bob Lindsay
