Blomidon Naturalist Society field trip:

Saturday, July 27, 2013 -- Minas Basin Shorebirds. Leaders Rick Whitman =
(542-2917, rick.whitman@ns.sympatico.ca) and Bernard Forsythe =
(542-2427). This field trip will focus on the Shorebirds that visit the =
Minas Basin to fatten up on mud shrimp and other foods on their way =
south. This weekend is roughly the peak, at least in numbers, and we =
should see at least 4-6 species. We may also see Peregrine Falcons, in =
which case we'll see fewer Shorebirds. We will have a quick look at =
Wolfville harbour and then proceed to Evangeline Beach and East Point at =
North Grand Pre. The road to East Point can be rough so we'll have to =
consider that. At East Point, we will probably walk south on top of the =
dyke for no more than 1 km, and then return. High tide this date is 5:25 =
PM and 13.9 m. The birds should be pushed off the mud flats, onto the =
dyke and high beaches, by 3:30 PM or so. Meet at the Wolfville harbour =
parking lot at the N end of Gaspereau Avenue at 2 PM. Drizzle and very =
light showers will be tolerated. Rain date is Sunday, July 28, same time =
same place
