Cape Breton Birds
We started counting Whimbrel July 22, 2007 from our lookout at Schooner Pond. We counted 241 Whimbrel in 8 flocks between 8:20pm and 8:50pm in the first 4 evenings. We think that the numbers of whimbrel passing through this area has not been documented so we intend on getting out every evening to our lookout spot to count numbers going by.
