We are visiting from Ontario and had a few successful forays to look for
shorebirds.

On Saturday at noon low tide we visited McCormack=B9s Beach Park and found
many Semipalmated Plovers, also Black-bellied Plover, Semipalmated
Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpiper, Willet and Greater Yellowlegs. Further
along the road south we found Sanderling and a dozen or more Ruddy
Turnstones.

On Sunday, about 9:00am, we visited Rainbow Haven Beach and found a flock o=
f
Black-bellied Plovers mixed with Dunlin. Back in spruce trees we found a
small flock of warblers including Black and White, Yellow, Chestnut-sided
and Black-throated Green. The highlight for us was good views of a Dovkie
that was floating in on the tide then flying out and floating in again. A
lifer for us inland birders.
