Very few shorebirds on the ground at Carncross at the moment, but three RED
KNOTS just flew over with three Black-bellied Plovers. Perhaps more
noteworthy still, a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was sitting with a small
flock of Canada Geese in the water. They all just took off and flew north.

I just got a call (5:10pm) from Dominic Sherony who was at Montezuma
earlier today. He says that when he arrived at Carncross Road about 11:30am
there was a flock of 40-50 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS in the air along with some
RED KNOTS - he's not sure how many. They had apparently been put up by an
eagle, and they circled higher and departed. Joe Wing, who was there before
they took flight, may have a count. At least 5 RED KNOTS remained at
Carncross when Dominic left at 12:20pm, along with various other
shorebirds, some of them distant and challenging.
Dominic was also at Armitage Road today where he saw 2 possible AMERICAN
GOLDEN-PLOVERS, one basic and one nearly so. If anyone else has seen these
birds he'd like confirmation or correction on the ID. He was also at
Armitage on the 27th and saw the single RED KNOT as late as 3pm that I
found that day.
