I did a shorebird survey today at Three Fathom Harbour.  Dowitcher numbers have increased, with some of the hendersoni subspecies still present.  Eastern Willets are beginning to migrate - adult females are collecting at staging areas.  The only rarity was a Western Sandpiper, no sign of last Sunday's Ruff.  Numbers seen around the harbour between mid-tide and low tide were:

Greater Yellowlegs    29
Willet                        43 adults
Lesser Yellowlegs    16
Western Sandpiper    1
Least Sandpiper        3
Short-billed Dowitcher   370

Also heard from Shorebird Cove area:  1 each of Wilson's Warbler, Northern Parula, Common Yellowthroat & Yellow Warbler.

Cheers,
Susann Myers
