Lots of action at BLBS this morning!
Vin Stanton and I were down there also this morning. we had good views of at
least 4 Semi palmated sandpipers, 10 or more Least sandpipers and the normal
Killdeer,Solitary and Spotted, although the numbers of these last two are way
down from the last couple of weeks. We missed the Semipalmated plover. Nice to
know they are still around after 2 or 3 last week.
Also an Osprey this morning, spotted by Vin.
I tried to get some good photos of the Semi. sands, but Virginia's shots are
way better. It's good to have such a clear record.
As to the orange fence Steve, we need a space before the fence for construction
vehicles to pull off the road when they are coming and going. Sorry to cause
confusion, but we should be done with this phase in a few weeks. Phase 2 (new
boardwalks etc), may not start for a month or three. So we should have normal
parking soon.

Nice Semi Sands, Virginia. Assuming this is Beaver Lake, they were not
present this AM, given a quick, limited view scan. Only shorebirds seen were
one Semi Plover and two Spotted Sands.
Almost got into an accident trying to pull into the sanctuary! Having the
orange fencing right up front might be a smart idea!

Hi everyone,
I got lucky Monday... saw 6 peeps in all, 2 semipalmated and 4 least, and
they were close enough to get some decent photos. Tom thought he spotted some
semis last Sat, but my photos that day were not good enough to confirm. I'm
still a shorebird novice, so please correct me if I've mis-ID'd the semis.
