There were hundreds of shorebirds in Suzanne Myers's Shorebird Cove in Three=
 Fathom Harbour   Managed to find the stilt sandpiper feeding with lesser ye=
llowlegs and dowitchers.   Thanks for the heads up. It was luck as I was in W=
est Chezzetcook when I got your message. The time was after 5:30. It was sti=
ll there  one hour later. The tide was going down.=20

Cheers
