Creator Transcript
  • Western Sandpiper. Kwakshua, Calvert Island. July 13, 1939 Flocks of these sandpipers passing overhead almost continuously. None of the flocks were large - 8-30 individuals in most of them. A larger flock was seen feeding in a muddy bay off the north passage. Fitzhugh Sound. July 15, 1939. At least ten small flocks of these birds passed us heading south down mid channel. Fly low over the water in loose flocks almost directly in the centre of the sound. Of six birds taken none have unmistakable signs of having bred so it may be that these flocks are composed of non breeders or year old young Burnaby Lake. May 27, 1942 Three birds seen along Burnet Creek just below the dam. Boundary Bay. April 7, 1948 Flocks of 10 to 50.
