I agree Mike... It looks like some fall migrants are here on MDI as well and the beginning of the fall turnaround...

It's beginning to look a lot like fall migration. Just before dawn today, during mid-ebb and as a lite rain was ending, the lagoon had a bunch of shorebirds:
SBDowitcher - 44
BB Plover - 6 (continuing)
Semipalm. Plover - 12
Willet - 7
Semi Sand - 8
Least Sand - 32
Peep sp. - 33 (no White-rumps)
GYLegs - 2
Piping Plover - 4 foraging; 1 sitting
Also 11 Snowy Egrets. 3 Glossy Ibis
And among the foraging Com Terns were 3 continuing Least Terns.
The latter were again focused on the mouth of the Morse River. Much tandem flying and one carrying small fish. Still curious about nesting here or Seawall?
