Shorebird migration is well underway in Nova Scotia, particularly for Short-billed Dowitchers. Migration of adult Short-billeds typically peaks in the last week of July, in the Halifax area. It's interesting to look at flocks of Short-billeds at this time of year - they're all adults right now, and many of them are of the hendersoni subspecies, which is much more extensively rufous below than our more common griseus migrants. It's also wonderful to hear Short-billeds again, with their friendly chortling out on the flats. Today at low tide in Three Fathom Harbour I saw the following (all but Willets were adults): Semipalmated Plover 37 Piping Plover 1 Greater Yellowlegs 12 Eastern Willet 92 Lesser Yellowlegs 67 Semipalmated Sandpiper 10 Short-billed Dowitcher 610 Cheers, Susann Myers --Boundary_(ID_qRdUwrNOME3yqTwuD7pemg) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.17063" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings, all.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shorebird migration is well underway in Nova Scotia, particularly for Short-billed Dowitchers.
