--Boundary_(ID_HGzr+QbSJ7d33jauOzaPMA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I can't resist adding a bit of a correction for the info' stated just below the video screen: these semipalmated sandpipers arrive in upper parts of Bay of Fundy from the arctic and James Bay in early to mid July, and they are present in numbers until at least early October, with peak numbers in the first two weeks of August -- thus the "sandpiper season" is about 3 months, not 1 month. If anyone out there would like to share this info' on Flickr, whatever that is, please feel free and thank you for that. Cheers from Jim Wolford in Wolfville, who has been observing this aerobatic spectacle for 35 years now. ------------------------- Begin forwarded message: > From: Elizabeth Doull <edoull@ns.sympatico.ca> > Date: December 13, 2010 10:49:08 AM AST > To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > Subject: Re: [NatureNS] FWD: Interesting Sandpiper air show video... > Reply-To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > > Trevor said his camera was waterproof according to what he > explained in Flickr...
