SHOREBIRD SPECIAL
The first week in Aug. is shaping up to be the best shorebird week of the year for the Mid-Island. Peeps have been reported by the 1000's, and a rare White-rumped Sandpiper was observed more than once in the Nanaimo River Estuary. Unfortunately, I never saw the White-rumped, but I have a few other birds to share including "possible" Semipalmated Sandpiper #2 & 3
Semipalmated Plover at Admiral's Lagoon (Aug. 2/04)
Black-bellied Plover at Admiral's Lagoon (Aug. 2/04)
Black Turnstone at Admiral's Lagoon (Aug. 2/04)
Western Sandpiper at Oyster Bay (Aug. 2/04)
Baird's Sandpiper at Nanaimo River estuary (Aug. 3/04)
"Possible" Semipalmated Sandpiper #2 & 3
(at Nanaimo River estuary - Aug. 3/04)
