The weekend is upon me and you know what that means. Yes, I work tomorrow as I do every Saturday. If it wasn't for the fact that I might be missing some of the shorebird migration, I might not mind.
Migration in July?
If you are a shorebird addict like me, you know the shorebird migration begins early. I have tallied an impressive number of shorebird species in July and it just keeps getting better through August. Apparently, the adults not directly raised in raising their young head south early to reduce the strain on the available food supply. This gives the young the best chance of growing strong enough for their first migration south and with the short summer season in the far north, they need all the chance they can get.
So grab the sun block and your lawn chair and join me at the marsh!
