Between East Point, N. Grand Pre and Horton Landing today, right at
high tide, I found two flocks of shorebirds. The one just a little S
of East Point consisted of 1 American Golden Plover, 8 Black-bellied
Plovers & 3 Short-billed Dowitchers. All of these were photographed
and are at the direct link below. R Stern & E Mills have confirmed the
Golden Plover for me (much appreciated). I did see the bird fly (no
black armpits) but the bird is in transition plumage and not one for
me to make the final ID.

Just N of Horton Landing I found a flock of 5 Black-bellied Plovers &
was able to share them with Jim Wolford & Pat Hawes.

A special day for me.
