Hurricane Dennis did not blow away the Golden Plovers at the sod farm. A
visit there at 9:30 this morning revealed twelve of them, along with one
Buff-breasted Sandpiper and several Pectorals. A quite large female
Sharp-shinned Hawk flushed the group on one occasion, making it easy to get
the count of 12 - for the Goldens took evasive action in a compact group
flying off together. "Off" was merely to another of the sod farm fields.
Separate Subject - at 7:00 a.m. today a very large flock of Canada Geese
were heard as they flew upstream above the Miles River near us. The
intense continuous chatter and gabble sure led us to believe that these
were migrants, even though this seems pretty early. Sounded to me like a
flock of 300 or more. Confirmation from others regarding the arrival of
Canada Geese in this area would be most welcome.
