Very cool on the Snowy Plover count! I did not realize that this
count circle goes all the way up to Tahkenitch creek. I assume when
you say North Spit you mean the Tenmile Creek Spit? Did anyone check the
south side of the spit, as there are birds on that side sometimes too.
We will be running winter plover surveys in about a week, and will
be checking all these areas. This count circle actually hits the center
of the main nesting and wintering areas of plovers, so not a surprise to
me that you are breaking records, but it's pretty impressive for a
county that doesn't really have all that much coastal miles. Well done!
Cheers
