Hi Jim,

 

These polychaete worms may be in the genus Neris and/or Glycera. At least
those are the ones that Black-bellied Plovers are eating. Jim Wolford may be
able to provide you with the species common in the mudflats around Nova
Scotia.

 

All the best,

 

Lance

I was recently looking at some photos of Semipalm and Piping Plovers trying
to pull long worms from the mudflats.

Does anyone have any idea what these worm species may be??
