Hi there, I drove out to Sandy Cove near Sambro this evening after work. Thanks to Hans Toom for his updates from there. I was pleased to see the Solitary Sandpiper he reported, as well as a Spotted Sandpiper. It's interesting to compare these two species when both are in non-breeding plumage. There were about 35 Semipalmated Plovers, and a lesser number of sandpiper "peep" species. As the light was fading by 7 p.m. and they were mostly on the dark kelp, I couldn't identify these clearly. Two Bald Eagles, one a juvenile, were making a racket further inland. Blue Jays were scolding and Hermit Thrushes were quietly "chucking" in the woods nearby, There were several Northern Flickers along the roadside. A family of Dark-eyed Juncos was busy in the bushes, and one of the juveniles was still being fed by an adult bird. Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax
