--Boundary_(ID_welRfL5ewSOPcKfEwJ3FoA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT AUGUST 8, 2009 - high tide time 3:08 p.m. (3 days after Full Moon) -- I arrived at Evangeline Beach at about 4:45 p.m., about 1.5 hrs. after high tide -- at the canteen shorebird viewing platform, I saw about 500 PEEPS in small flocks of 100 or less, flying about and landing and foraging as the tide began to ebb. Then I walked Evangeline Beach eastward from the Bearnes' cottage (Sandpiper Lane and Pheasant Road) from about 5:00 to 5:45 p.m., i.e. to about 2.5 hrs. after high tide, to where the trees end and salt- marsh begins. When I walked back at 5:45 p.m., about 6000 PEEPS had accumulated in a very long narrow line along the water line, feeding in the newly exposed mudflat. And more flocks of peeps were arriving, so that I didn't stay to see how many would accumulate. Semipalmated plovers were fairly abundant, perhaps totalling 300 or more. Some of the peeps were flying low over the water in both eastward and westward directions, but I think most of the feeding peeps had arrived from the east (but I don't really know that).
