Kwe Msit Wen:
(Greetings All)
Nick and I went to Kingsburg beach today to see if we can spot/photograph the
Snowy Plover. We first went to Bridgewater, following the 10 to the 3 to the
332, we stopped at several spots along the road to see if we can photograph
several loons (Kwimuk) that were close by. There were about 4 loons drifting on
the LaHave river. We also spotted a Red-trailed Hawk (Pipukwes) flying
overhead.
After a bit of confusion over where to access the beach (a nice lady at one of
the houses at the end of Kingsburg road) informed us where the public access
spot was, on we went to the beach.
There were a number of peeps, namely Semipalmated Sandpipers, Semipalmated
Plovers, Sanderlings and smaller peeps (probably Least Sandpipers). After
scanning the beach, Nick marveled and wondered out loud who was the first person
who reported seeing this Snowy Plover. It was like looking for a needle in a
haystack. I told him it kinda looks like a Piping Plover (which he has not
seen) and told him what our friend Cathy Murrant told me-"Just look for a ghost
on the beach." We spotted it after about 15 minutes!
We have a number of very good pictures posted to my web gallery:

some are large so it may take a sec or two to fully load. Enjoy!
