The southbound shorebird migration has intensified in the past 3 days with thousands of Semipalmated Sandpipers coming through. The numbers of Black-bellied Plover and Semipalmated Plover are increasing and they will really pick up in number in the next week. At this evening's low tide ( such excellent light conditions!) we observed 9 species of shorebird: Semipalmated Sandpiper, Semipalmated Plover, Black-bellied Plover, Short-billed Dowitcher, Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Ruddy Turnstone, Spotted Sandpiper and Whimbrel(5).
-- The highest daily Whimbrel count this past month was 62.
