Hi all:
=20
Here is a more detailed list of what was on Cape LaHave Island on Sept. 12 =
at Bay Beach.
=20
13 species:
=20
Whimbrel 6
Sanderling 208
semi-palmated plover 47
Ruddy Turnstone 12
Least Sandpiper 25
Semi-palmated sandpiper 1
Baird's Sandpiper 1
American Golden Plover 1
Black-bellied plover 1
Greater Yellowlegs 5
Spotted Sandpiper 4
willet (western) 4 (have pics and will send to Ian to confirm.
Lesser yellowlegs 2
=20
A merlin chasing the shorebirds was cool.
=20
40 green-winged teal
American Black Duck 83
About 300 other ducks lifted off on approach.
=20
The numbers of ducks present suggests an important staging area during migr=
ation.
=20
All ducks raised up when we were about a half km from the island=2C which s=
uggests that someone must be hunting before the season. The ducks should n=
ot be so flighty at this point in the year. I was unable to determine spec=
ies for most duck species as I was too far away. =20
=20
Very few woodland birds which was disappointing. Timing for migration was =
not good.
