It looks like the shorebirds are almost finished in the Minas Basin. On Saturday, November 26, there were just 2 Dunlin at East Point, N. Grand Pre. I did not detect any others between East Point and Horton Landing, walking both ways before & at high tide. There were a minimum of 7 Horned Larks at East Point and about 300 Snow Buntings at Horton Landing, in a harvested corn field W of the Acadian monument. I photographed one of the Dunlin probably as nicely as I can ever hope to do with this camera. This was not cropped: http://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Birds-October-December-2011/19345301_Vgt77R#1603274343_khQGmbd Today, Nov. 28, I detected zero shorebirds at East Point, Horton Landing, and all points between, before & near high tide. However, at the extreme W end of Long Island Road, N. Grand Pre, on the tiny sand point at high tide, there were 3 Dunlin and 1 White-rumped Sandpiper. I saw no Horned Larks or Snow Buntings today.
