------=_Part_24248_2328708.1217814635711 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I went to Grand Pre at high tide today to try and see/ photograph shorebirds. At the east (Boot Island) end, there were 15 vehicles parked on the dyke, with more constantly coming and going. Several were from out of province, and one (with Maine license plates) forced me off the footpath by backing along the top of the dyke wall as I was walking towards it. As I stumbled over the side of the dyke one leg of my tripod touched his car, and he was very annoyed. As far as I could make out, all the vehicles belonged to fishermen, of which I counted over 40. There were no shorebirds. I had better luck at the west end, by the Wolfville sewage plant, where there about 100 Semipalm. sandpipers, a few Leasts and 1 White-rumped, roosting on the rocks that were still exposed just offshore. The most abundant birds in the area were the large flocks of Bank and Tree Swallows flying around all over. -- ################# Richard Stern, 317 Middle Dyke Rd.
