Hi All, Twelve of us were birding Cape Sable Island today, but could not find the Broad-billed Sandpiper.  However a fair bit fog  hampered the search efforts.  

7:42 pm found Dad and I back at the sand bar where at Broad-billed Sandpiper was originally seen.  It was covered in gulls, including 4 adult Lesser Black-back Gulls and 21 Black-bellied Plovers.  Our search ended at 7:46 pm when  the last of the Black-bellied Plovers flew off.

New birds seen today over yesterday included a good number of Pectoral Sandpipers, Bank, Barn, Tree, & Cliff Swallows.  The 2 Great Egrets were still present as well as the 2 American Oystercatchers.  It was also fun meeting birders today from Europe, New York and Edmonton.   All of which saw a number of birds they wanted to see. The Edmonton birder was Richard Knapton, who some of you may remember from the time he spent in Nova Scotia.  - All the Best in Birding, Clarence
