I received this message: "I spoke with Tom Bartlett last night, who is
banding shorebirds at Ottawa now, 300 yesterday.>

I'm sorry there are no details about locations (probably off-limits to
the public), or about numbers of species, etc., but thought I'd send
this along if nothing else than an additional heads-up that shorebirds
are moving in good numbers now.
        For some additional news from the north, see the post from Jean Iron at
