The unusual spring migration occurrence of shorebirds seems to be =
drawing to a close, with reduced numbers being seen.

At Three Fathom Harbour, sightings of migrants passing through were:
May 22 (with Pat McKay):
    Black-bellied Plover        1
    Semipalmated Sandpiper    3
    Short-billed Dowitcher    71 (seasonal high count)

May 29:
    Black-bellied Plover        3
    Short-billed Dowitcher    10

At West Chezzetcook Marsh:
May 29:
    Black-bellied Plover    22

The unusual shorebird fallout was also seen in Cape Breton.  My counts =
of migrants were:
Morien Bar and adjacent marshes:
May 20:
    Black-bellied Plover        1
    Semipalmated Sandpiper    6
    White-rumped Sandpiper    1
    Short-billed Dowitcher        30

George and Bev Crowell also noted that they had seen about 30 =
Short-billed Dowitchers recently at the Glace Bay Bird Sanctuary.=20
