After walking along the lee shore W of the light house
(previous locale) we drove (vork S and around the
lighthouse, parked, and walked north along the beach. Tide
is way out, now ~ 1645, with 30 yds at least of
exposed mud, extending out from the raised land
where vegetation begins before reaching water. Most of
the mud has a surface sheen of water. (Whimbrel, 3 ruddy turnstone, [illegible] golden plover
knot, 15-2 collared plovers (falklandicus)
39 peeps 20+ godwits
all WR probably. These birds are distributed
over a piece of beach which is described by
an arc 600' radius and 20° [illegible] water Most
of that is mud without water on it.
I have data on the distribution of three birds relative to
water. It is in their respective species accounts. Of
interest was the fact that falklandicus tended to be more toward
the water than Calidris. Most of these birds were feeding,
with some resting for preening.
