Aimee Pelletier and I spent the weekend working in the Keji Seaside Adjunct (Little Port Joli side), and while we focused mainly on plant and invert surveys, I did manage to spend some time birding as well. We had over 40 species just in the lagoon, including 6 raptor species (of note was one Peregrine Falcon, and a Northern Harrier that chased a Merlin for over 2kms for the Merlin's meal of Semipalmated plover- the harrier was unsuccessful), and 13 shorebird species (>400 Semipalmated sandpipers, >250 Semipalmated plovers, >100 Black-bellied plovers, ~50 Short-billed dowitchers, ~100 Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, uncommon Killdeer, Least Sandpipers and Sanderlings; also individual Willet, Baird's and Pectoral sandpipers, and of particular interest, 1 Wilson's Phalarope).
