Hi all:
=20
I'm currently reading Shorebirds - Nomads of the Wetlands=2C by Harry Thurs=
ton.  This book was written in 1996 and I assume that quite a bit has chang=
ed since it came out on the market.  I've come across a number of things no=
w that I would questions or double check before I would except them as a gi=
ve.  One that really sticks out for me is on page 51=2C where he states tha=
t oystercatchers are nonmigratory.  We know that the American oystercatcher=
s that are found at Cape Sable Island are certainly migratory and that some=
 occasionally show up in other areas of Nova Scotia.  So is this something =
that has changed since the book was written?
