Exploring Cumberland - Wednesday, May 21st, 2014

We had a few warblers and good looks at Prairie Warbler and Pine Warbler. We went to Fortescue Beach where there were thousands of shorebirds (and gnats). We enjoyed Red Knots, Dunlin, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Spotted Sandpipers, Ruddy Turnstones, Short-billed Dowitchers and Willets. Leaders: Karen Johnson, Janet Crawford, and Shaun Bamford.
