Hi All,
I’m sorry I forgot to send this out last night, but Joe’s Willets reminded me
that I saw a Semipalmated Plover at McAlister right before sunset on the north
shore last night. I had been there since 7:30 and didn’t see it until dusk.
They aren’t rare, but I don’t see them often here. Didn’t see it today when we
were looking for the Willets, but I only birded the inlet by the skatepark.
