I helped do a shorebird survey at Morien Bar on Saturday, Sept. 8.  During my portion, highlights were:
Buff-breasted Sandpiper - 1
Dunlin - 1
Sanderling - 22
Red Knot - 21
Black-bellied Plover - 122
Semiplamated Plover - 183

Also seen Sept. 8 at Mira Gut:
Horned Grebe - 2
Surf Scoter - 40
scoter species - 100


On the Cape Breton Shorebirds field trip on Sunday, we had 20 birders for good fellowship and some good sightings:
At Sydney Airport:
60 Am. Golden-plovers
6 Buff-breasted Sandpipers
1 Baird's Sandpiper
4 Pectoral Sandpipers

At the Tower Road Settling Pond, Glace Bay:
25+ Ring-necked Ducks
2 Wood Ducks (1 f., 1 m. in eclipse plumage)
12+ Green-winged Teal
3 Blue-winged Teal

At Morien Bar:
2 Hudsonian Godwits
a good mix of peeps and yellowlegs
close looks at a Red Knot and Short-billed Dowitchers

Cheers,
Susann Myers
