Good morning, all. This morning, a few minutes after 0700, I saw a Great Egret at Conrad's Beach, Lawrencetown. As I drove in Conrad Road, as soon as I was in sight of the marsh, it was to the east of the road on the other side of the marsh. An hour later, it was still there in roughly the same spot. Although I didn't see any Piping Plovers (as I did on three occasions on the past month), I did see a medium-sized sandpiper on the beach that I couldn't identify. It had near-black legs. Too long-legged for semipalmated, and I think the colouring was a bit dark for the semi as well. Willet? While willets were numerous there, it was much too small. White-rumped sandpiper? Maybe. The white rump, and common white wing markings were conspicuous in flight. Anyone? Also in the marsh behind the beach were four Green-wwinged Teal. cheers, Bob Lindsay Dartmouth
