I don't know about the whimbrels; but we were certainly less interested in
that beach by the late 70s, because it had spread there so badly. It's now
a big presence on Gull island (end of Caribou island) as well. There were
only a few small patches there in the 80s, to my knowledge.
Why is it not "noxious", Chris? What is the official definition of the word
in that context? And how often is that 1996 list updated?
When we first moved to N.S., we were told that it could be found only in the
southern part of the province, but I don't remember whether our source was
really an expert..... ah, so long ago.

Hi Jane
You are right. I remember we were able to roam in shorts in the grasses
(edging the beach in Big Island) in the 1960's. Hundreds and hundreds of
whimbrels were everywhere. Now, poison ivy is everywhere and we would be
lucky to see such a few whimbrels every year. It made me wonder if poison
ivy drove whimbrels away?
Cheers,

Here's a question for you experts: is poison ivy considered to be an
invader?
When we first moved to Nova Scotia (Pictou county), in 1971, I don't
remember seeing it at all. Now, of course, it's everywhere. It certainly
would fall into the "noxious" category.
