Windsor Sewage Ponds - 1pm, grey, very light rain, very warm, peak high tide. A big change from last week - all the geese have gone and so have most of the ducks. In their place is a swarm of late "Peeps", some of which are so white that I could see them from the 101 Highway when I was driving by. 500+ Semipalmated Sandpipers. About 20% of these are almost completely white on the head with only a touch of brown as an eye line. Otherwise, with black legs and bills and "normal" wing colouration they look just like the others in the flock. 90 Black-bellied Plovers 40 Sanderlings 6 Least Sandpipers 4 American Wigeons 45 Black Ducks 200+ Herring Gulls 10 Greater Black Backed Gulls I looked up as a large flock of birds passed overhead, expecting it to be one of the massive groups of Starlings in the area. Instead it was at least 200 Robins, heading inland up the Avon River. John Belbin- Hantsport
