Index of Subjects We have a couple of friends here from England and we are taking off for Cape Breton, initially for Louisburg, in a few days for a few days. We will be driving round the Cabot Trail. Is there anywhere accessible in the general CB area that might provide a useful stop to chance-view shorebird migration, granted that it is still only in the early stages? Any suggestions appreciated.

Also one rarity, a Stilt Sandpiper, immediately recognizable from the tilt of its decurved bill. In light drizzle this morning, between Shorebird Cove and the mudflats off Causeway Road, I counted the following on both sides of the harbour: Semipalmated Plover 143 Greater Yellowlegs 5 Willet 31 Lesser Yellowlegs 10 Semipalmated Sandpiper 120 Stilt Sandpiper 1 adult, moulting out of breeding plumage Short-billed Dowitcher 34 Cheers, Susann Myers
