There were no shorebirds at East Point at high tide on Wednesday, and =
none at Avonport Beach at high tide last Saturday. It=92s a bit early =
yet - numbers peak in mid-August, but looking at the Ebird reports for =
the last 3 years, there should be at least a few hundred by now. Birders =
along the South Shore, Halifax Co. etc. are already seeing large numbers =
of Dowithchers, and some SESA, so I don=92t know what=92s going on.
