Index of Subjects --0016e644d6d0f59578048bd5991f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, I went there yesterday as the tide was falling, around 11am,and saw much the same, but there were about 20 Willets and Dowitchers and a few Gr.Yellowlegs - at one point an adult F.N.Harrier made a low pass, and was immediately dive-bombed by all the Willets. Quite a sight, but too far away to capture well on video. I also saw a couple with binoculars, who turned out to be birders visiting the Maritimes from California. They said it was a thrill to see Bald Eagles in PEI. I told them they were common in the Valley, and looked up - and there was an adult circling high overhead. I felt like a magician!
