I don't know if it is typical for Spotted Sandpipers or not but Jetty
Island is a great
place to see Spotted Sandpipers. Jan Carrol and I went out on June 28
to try to determine
exactly where the Arctic Terns were seeming to nest so that the area
could be marked off
limits before the crowds arrived the following weekend. Jan has a
long history with surveys
of Jetty Island and I asked her if the Spotted Sandpipers were more
numerous this year than
in the past and she indicated that this was normal. Neither one of us
saw any Arctic Terns
there the evening before and didn't see any that Saturday either.
There had been several on
Thursday evening.

Hey I wouldn't mind doing that, but as Dennis Paulson
says,..."Work,...the curse of the birding
man (or woman)." It gets in the way...

on.

A great place for watching Osprey hunting, especially as the young get
larger and require more
food.
