Mel: I think it often far easier at inland locations tike turf farms
and WWTFs to detect that early fall migration. I just got to Port
O'C yesterday and noted a handful migrant shorebirds but would have no
idea as to if they have been here the entire time I was away or not.
As I have posted previously, at least bak in my Hornsby days, the
first migrants began trickling in around July 3-4. I would be curious
of that is still the case, but I think the place is closed due to the
compost fire (?)
