The immature American Avocet, first seen last Thursday on Brier Island is now spending most of its time in the big pond, Pond Cove, rather than in Westport, a habit it began on Friday (August 10). It was in Pond Cove early this morning, after which I left the island. Yesterday AM saw the arrival of the first migrants - a few warblers and Red- breasted Nuthatches, also a Least Flycatcher (two of the latter also seen today). Waders have been going by the island in numbers since Thursday, but few stop because of the very high water in the big pond. By contrast, there is a very large flock in Freeport harbour, made up of ca. 1500 Semi Sandpipers, ca. 200 Least, 25 White-rumps, 125 S-b. Dowitchers, 20-25 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2-3 Greater Yellowlegs and a scattering of Willets. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZ Eric L.
