JULY 18 (Mon.), 2011 - Walk on east Evangeline Beach for shorebirds:  
high tide (fairly big one at 12.2 metres amplitude) was 3:43 p.m.; I  
walked from 5:40 to 6:15 p.m. from the former public boat launch site  
to the east end of the beach, i.e. the east end of the trees along  
the shore, east of Jean Merks' home; no shorebirds seen at all until  
about 6:10 p.m., just as I was nearly back to my car, when several  
flocks of up to 150 PEEPS (unidentified small shorebirds) each were  
mostly flying by from east to west along the shore; there were  
occasional small flocks also flying in the opposite direction; I  
guestimated a total of about 500++ PEEPS SEEN; nothing else to report  
except a few pesky flies.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
