Migration

Over the past few weeks the migration from the Arctic has begun with the first medium sized groups of peeps.  Semi-palmated Sandpipers and Semi-palmated Plovers in groups of a few hundred are actively feeding at lowtide at both Winthrop and Revere. Revere so far has the higher numbers which today reached around 400. A few other species; Sanderling, White-rumped Sandpiper, and Red-knot have also appeared, only one of each so far.
