  Subject: [NatureNS] more on Marbled Godwit, Wolfville Harbour


  SEPT. 18, 2012 - Yesterday evening at the BNS meeting we learned that =
Wayne Neily saw a MARBLED GODWIT back in Wolfville Harbour at about 7:15 =
p.m.


  Today Richard Stern wrote at 12:20 p.m.: "Right now the tide is =
rapidly filling up Wolfville Harbor, the sun isshining, and the =
[Marbled] Godwit is feeding in front of me together with some Greatet =
Yellowlegs."


  Then, right after Richard left, about two hours before high tide, with =
the water level already high, I located the marbled godwit again in =
pre-roosting mode with about 20 greater yellowlegs, along the RR tracks =
on the se. shore. =20


  Also seen in the harbour were 20 peeps, many of which were least =
sandpipers, and, separately, a spotted sandpiper.


  Yesterday it was a northern harrier that flew over the harbour and =
flushed the shorebirds; today it was a large sharp-shinned hawk.


  Elderkin's Pond: one juvenile double-crested cormorant, plus the usual =
dozens of mallards.


  In the grass near the bus-stop at the Acadia Arena, 2 small Calvatia? =
giant puffballs (less than fist-sized).
