There was a Solitary Sandpiper at Sandy Cove's beach this evening.  Also present was a Greater Yellowlegs and four Least Sandpipers.  Although the tide was high this beach is still popular with shorebirds due to the meandering stream that forms ponds in the sand. The beach is especially popular with shorebirds a week or two after a powerful southerly wind raises kelp heaps.  Tropical Storm Danielle may provide a fresh supply of kelp and flotsam in a few days, and perhaps bring ins some pelagic birds along our coastline: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/204013.shtml?tswind120#contents
