All:

Mid-morning I wandered through the saltmarsh behind Silver Sands Beach, Cow Bay,
HRM. Nothing exciting, but I did note the following of mild interest.

       About 30 E. Willets, including agitated adults, but only four fledged
young.

       Eleven Lesser and four Greater Yellowlegs - no dowitchers.

       Two adult Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows (fewer than expected). One was
carrying food - maybe a heads up for the "owner" of that Atlas Square, although
probably already confirmed.

       Two ratty Bonaparte's Gulls (beginning second cycle, i.e. about one year
old).

Cheers, Ian McLaren
