The canoe trip didn't involve much dedicated birding - we followed the Ragged Harbour river downstream to the Ragged Harbour community.
Check out this time lapse I made of the sunset and rising tide from one of our campsites:
The nearby community of Musgrave harbour was a great spot for shorebirds. One highlight was a juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper:
Juvenile Short-billed Dowitchers always excite me with their colourful orange plumage:
A Hudsonian Godwit was an unexpected find for August - I made sure to see the dark underwings to prove that it wasn't the rarer but very similar looking Black-tailed Godwit:
A sick Black-legged Kittiwake offered me my best view yet of this species while I was studying two nearby dowitchers.
