**Kerry Lee Morris-Cormier reports there was a flock of 12 DUNLINS in front on the Nature Conservancy of Canada Interruptive Centre at Johnson's Mills on Tuesday.  Also observed were 3 SANDERLINGS, several hundred SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS and a few SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS.  Note the drooped bill on the dunlin. 

**Like many of us in the area, Brian Stone had the opportunity to say good morning to Jack Frost for the second morning on Tuesday to record his visit in photos when the early morning dew went one step farther. 
Brian's BUMBLEBEE colony, that has nested under his deck at home, will hopefully send off any potential queens soon and maybe choose a different site next season.  

**The BLACK BELLIED PLOVERS are still enjoying the coastline at Hay Island. Aldo Dorio photographed some doing their distinct ‘plover walk’ on Monday.
