--Boundary_(ID_xksqO2PvXFgW/3eRZXyQ7g) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Aug. 15, 2011 - Wolfville Harbour at high tide (2:30 to 3 p.m.): 16 greater yellowlegs, 2 willets, and 1 least sandpiper, all roosting along the rocks below the railroad tracks at the south edge of the harbour, and in the salt-marsh at the southeastern corner of the harbour. In the salt-marsh most of the conspicuous plants are in flower or finishing flowering: coarse cord grass (Spartina alterniflora), fine cord grass or salt hay (Spartina patens), Distichlis grass, sea lavender (Limonium), and marsh elder or high-water shrub (Iva frutescens?)(young fruits now and just a few flowers left). I didn't notice whether salt-marsh goldenrod was flowering yet? Also a couple of common wood nymph butterflies seen there. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_xksqO2PvXFgW/3eRZXyQ7g) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>Aug. = 15, 2011 - Wolfville Harbour at high tide</b> (2:30 to 3 p.m.): <b>16 = greater yellowlegs, 2 willets, and 1 least sandpiper</b>, all roosting = along the rocks below the railroad tracks at the south edge of the = harbour, and in the salt-marsh at the southeastern corner of the = harbour. </font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: = 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal = 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: = 12.0px Helvetica">In the <b>salt-marsh</b> most of the conspicuous = plants are in flower or finishing flowering: <b>coarse cord grass = </b>(<i>Spartina alterniflora</i>),<b> fine cord grass or salt hay</b> = (<i>Spartina patens</i>),<i> Distichlis</i> grass, <b>sea lavender = </b>(<i>Limonium</i>)<b>,</b> and <b>marsh elder or high-water shrub</b> = (<i>Iva frutescens</i>?)(young fruits now and just a few flowers = left).
