Hi Jim et al.,
Sunday morning, 11:25 a.m., July 27, 181 Plover Lane, Evangeline =
Beach.
The tide is coming in, and sandpipers are numerous and active. =
Flocks of 200 to 2000 (rough guesses) are coming and going in front of =
my cottage. No peregrines in sight.
In binoculars (15x, stabilized) I spotted one semi-palmated =
amongst a few hundred running over the sand that has a blue leg band. =
The band is rectangular, about an inch long and maybe 1/4 inch wide, and =
it is pointing forward. The bird was too far away to read what may have =
been on the band.

Thanks Jim !
I think your numbers are solid. I had 120 Semipalmateds on =
Monday & Phil Taylor had 400 SESA yesterday, both at The Guzzle around =
high tide. I also had one Peregrine and it dispersed the birds, leading =
me to leave.
I am coming to think that the Peregrines are changing Peep =
behaviour significantly. I know they are native and natural but it is =
approaching the point where they are ruining the experience for me. On =
Monday, the Peregrine had one peep separated from the flock & was =
gaining on it. Just when I thought the peep was lost, the Peregrine =
broke off & just circled around. I couldn=92t age the Peregrine but I =
felt it was just playing with the peep.=20
On the way home I spotted a small flock of Semipalmated Plovers =
passing high tide in a plowed field in Melanson. This would be several =
km from the coast.
