Numbers of small plovers and peeps are beginning to build.   Also one =
rarity, a Stilt Sandpiper, immediately recognizable from the tilt of its =
decurved bill.  In light drizzle this morning, between Shorebird Cove =
and the mudflats off Causeway Road, I counted the following on both =
sides of the harbour:

Semipalmated Plover        143
Greater Yellowlegs            5
Willet                                 31
Lesser Yellowlegs              10
Semipalmated Sandpiper    120
Stilt Sandpiper                    1 adult, moulting out of breeding =
plumage
Short-billed Dowitcher        34

Cheers,
Susann Myers
