There were *2 Willets* this morning by the Salt Marsh trail. They were
chasing each other in the lagoon area on the south side just at the 1 km
marker east from Bisset Rd. Also, there were *3 Yellowlegs* foraging in
the same area but the distance was too great to determine if they were
greater or lesser. It was "Cole Harbour" low tide at the time. There
was very little other activity along the trail, probably due to the
strong and cold west wind, *1 Common Merganser* was swimming on the
north side of the trail, also at the 1 km marker.

Bernice & I drove the Eastern Shore to 3-Fathom Hbr today,
with limited walking. Even so, I was surprised to see NO WILLETS.
Perusing the NS-RBA NatureNS archives turned up no reports,
although I have a notion that someone reported the species earlier
this month.

Their normal time of arrival is mid-April, often one or two are
earlier, and good numbers are usually present by month's end.

<br>
Should we concerned? Have they been under-reported?
