I did a shorebird survey at Morien Bar, Cape Breton, on Sunday in very windy conditions.  Not ideal for seeing everything that was around, but I was able to count the following:

Black-bellied Plover    181
Semipalmated Plover    829
Greater Yellowlegs        162
Willet                         4
Lesser Yellowlegs        53
Ruddy Turnstone            5
Red Knot (adults - bright alternate plumage)      23
Sanderling                    3
Hudsonian Godwit        1
Whimbrel                       2
Semipalmated Sandpiper    323
Least Sandpiper            24
White-rumped Sandpiper    92
Dunlin                            1
Short-billed Dowitcher        87 (including several hendersoni)

Notable non-shorebirds were 12 Black-headed Gulls and 76 Great Blue Herons.

Cheers,
Susann Myers
