Index of Subjects Hi All, There have been no (or very few) postings regarding shorebirds on the Minas Basin this year so, not knowing what to expect, Wendy and I drove to Evangeline Beach, followed by The Guzzle, in mid- to late-afternoon on Saturday, after the BNS-sponsored Sedge walk with Tyler. Unfortunately, the tide was well out so we were unable to make any positive identifications. We did see 3-4 largish flocks of peeps, each of 250-400 birds. I suspect that most of these were Semi-palm and Least Sandpipers, and as well we saw perhaps a dozen larger birds (possibly yellowlegs) separate from these groups. Just as we were leaving The Guzzle, a Merlin flew by about 20 feet away from us, perhaps looking for dinner. It had no success while we watched. We have seen Black Swallowtails here before but Saturday was not a good day for leps in the eastern Valley!! Cheers, Bob McDonald
