It was quite windy and somewhat birdless as far as passerines were concerned. We had 2 CASPIAN TERNS along the main beach. The tide was pushing up a few shorebirds. I did not do an actual count, but there were ~ 20 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Greater Yellowlegs, 15 BB Plovers, 20 Semipalmated Plovers, 3 Least Sandpiper, 2 White-rumped Sandpiper, 3 Willets ( western twang?), 7 Ruddy Turnstones, 1 Dowicher and 6 Sanderlings. There were no doubt more shorebirds than that present. There were a good number of Yellow-rumped Warblers (~30) along the pines at the Wharf Rd. and an Ovenbird was travelling with them- Otherwise only 2 Yellow Warblers and a Common Yellowthroat. Ann Doull reported a single Hummingbird at her island feeder and I also had one in Plymouth when I got home. cheers ken --Boundary_(ID_7d0tK8clMJb/PCwRPa0ARg) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18812"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644<BR>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Polly Szantor and I did some birding at Big I. today.
