Dick Belanger,Jim Cullen and I spent two hours working the flats at low tide yesterday.Highlights included 5 Roseate,2 Black,2 Least, 2 Forster’s terns along with 20 Red Knot, 30 Short-Billed Dowitchers,a Piping Plover and one lone Semipalmated Sandpiper.Also of interest,were 20 American Oystercatchers doing what appeared to be a mating dance where they craned their necks out and down making their “kleep” call and then they would start bowing.I have a video if anyone is interested. thanks-Lee Stocker --
