Subject: [BRDBRAIN] Shorebirds Alert

Just wanted to send an alert out to all of you folks who might be birding 
on the beaches within the next couple of weeks/months…

We are experiencing a small wave of shorebirds coming into the Seabird 
Sanctuary that are unable to fly and cannot use their legs.  At this time 
its been a couple of Sanderlings, 1 Red Knot and I believe 3 
Oystercatchers.  I had to go out to the beach today to rescue a little 
Sanderling that was face down in the sand with the gulls getting ready to 
gang up on him; he was very skinny as well.

Weve seen this in the past…  2 years ago or so we got a large amount of 
Red Knots and then last year we got a lot of Sanderlings with this problem.

So, if you could just keep an extra eye out for these kids…  If you see 
any unable to move or fly please call us or any licensed rehabber.  

Thanks!

Scott
