  Hi all
  Charlie Kendell and I did some birding yesterday Aug 19 at Big I. The =
tide was high most of the day and although I did a shorebird count, I am =
sure many more were left unseen in the salt marsh grasses.=20
  Highlight was a new bird for Charlie, a Baird's Sandpiper (juv) along =
the Strait side of the east end of the causeway on the upper sand in the =
first 100 m or so of the east end of the causeway.=20
  On the way out we drove the MacLellans Brook Rd and at the NE end just =
before the intersection of the Sherbrooke Rd.  we saw 4 Solitary =
Sandpipers along with 2 Least and a Semipalmated Sandpiper in a wet area =
along the road=20

  The Solitary Sandpiper remains at the McGee Pond half way along the =
Big I. road. A Sora with at least 3 young is also there and has been =
seen for a numbers of weeks. Charlie and I noticed interesting behaviour =
of the adult as it seemed to be carrying nest material into a clump of =
high grass. It made 6-7 trips in with grasses. This seems to be odd =
behaviour as there were young birds present and it seems late in the =
year for nest building.

  Land birds were not plentiful with the heat of the day. We did note a =
few butterflies- nothing new- Northern Crescent, Clouded Sulphurs, =
Cabbage White and a unid'd largish Fritillary likely Great Spangled.  In =
Egerton we had a Black Swallowtail.=20

  Bird results have been posted to eBird.
