On Monday, Aug. 11 we visited Grand Pre and Evangeline Beach with friends to see the shorebirds. We walked West from Evangeline along the beach to see the Bank Swallows, and were lucky to find one tunnel in the cliff still occupied. We saw two juveniles, which seemed to be close to fledging, being fed by adults. There were many tunnels which looked like they had been occupied this year, but were now deserted. Further along the shore there were some more tunnels, a few of which looked like they had been recently used, but most of which were older. We had to walk fast to beat the tide back to the stairs at Evangeline! After that we followed the huge flocks of Peeps by car back and forth from the cottages to East Point, and then to Horton's Landing and back to Evangeline. Don revised his estimate of numbers of Peeps from an initial 5000 to 8000 after looking at his photos at home. Still seems like an under-estimate to me! Lois Codling
