Howdy all,
I got this from Tom Saunders. Seems he is having problems posting. So I am
the middle man. This is from yesterday, but I didn't check my email until
today.
Sorry to all.
Jethro
All,
Migration has not been much in evidence here recently, with the exception of
disappearing ducks, but 61 PURPLE SANDPIPERS were on the rock breakwater just
off the Cape Charles boardwalk at 11 this morning, a high count for me for
this location. I didn’t have time to check the larger rock jetty that forms the
north side of the town harbor, so there could have been even more. 27
sanderlings, 16 ruddy turnstones, 3 dunlin, 1 Forster’s tern, 12 laughing
gulls, 4
ring-billed gulls, 6 great black-backed gulls, 3 common loons, and 9
red-breasted
mergansers completed the avian assortment. 4 or 5 very large bottle-nosed
dolphins were moving up the bay just beyond the jetty.
