Dear Birders,
The James Bay shorebird project is in it’s third of four sessions, and crews have been in the field since 15 July when we opened two remote camps, Longridge Point and Little Piskwamish Point. Northbluff Point field camp opened on the 30th. We posted a summary of observations from all three field camps for the period 31 July to 14 August 2017 to our Facebook page. Future summaries from each camp will be posted as they are available.
Please check out our Facebook page for the latest, https://www.facebook.com/jamesbayshorebirdproject/. For more details about the project, check out our website https://www.jamesbayshorebirdproject.com/.
Thanks to Ron Pittaway for recently posting a summary of observations from Longridge Point https://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=SHOREBIRDS;9b88fc3b.1708
Jean Iron has updated her website with summaries and photos from her two week stint (and ninth year volunteering for the project!) here:
