Index of Subjects Good morning, Susann. Can you tell me where Shorebird Cove is? Is that where Dunlin were observed on February 10th, posted by Suzanne B on my behalf, and then later seen and correctly ID'd by you? It's the beach not directly accessible by path. It faces the ocean (of course!) on the far side of the marsh that is just to the left of the trail shortly after (west of) the Rocky Run bridge. On second thought, maybe Shorebird Cove is what some people call Smelly Cove? cheers, Bob Lindsay Dartmouth Susann Myers wrote: > Lots of duck/seabird activity at Three Fathom Harbour yesterday.
