Title: RFI-Dunlin
Post by: Anonymous on November 04, 2007, 02:52:54 PM

I went to the Cobourg Harbour this morning to have a look around and the 2 Brandts are still in the southwest end of the harbour. The Snow Buntings and the Pectoral Sandpiper are there as well. Another shorebird flew in and landed beside the pectoral. I have identified it as a Dunlin. I would appreciate a confirmation on this, as I am still pretty new at identifying the shorebirds.
Thanks

Hi Art,

I've never had trouble viewing your photos before, but these ones didn't come up.

Hi Joe, I was at work today and just got home. I tried it and it works for me. Sometimes the site goes down for some maintenance, but not to often. I could have happened today. Thanks for trying:)

Art,

The links worked fine for me.  And yes, it looks like a Dunlin.
