Migration is under way

At Winthrop Beach; both Semipalmated Plover and Sandpipers have begun to surface in small numbers, flocks of 20 -50 birds. Plum Island is holding around 2,500 birds in the Bill Forward area. Large numbers of both Short-billed and Long-billed Dowitchers which is beat to see. Also on Winthrop our last late group of PIPL have hatched. As of today only  one chick left sadly.
