Dear Birders, The James Bay shorebird project is in its final of four sessions, and crews have been in the field since 15 July when we opened two remote camps, Longridge Point and Little Piskwamish Point. Northbluff Point field camp opened on the 30th. Below is a link to the summary from all three camps from 14 to 29 August 2017. A final summary from each camp will be posted later this month. Crews close camps on 13 September and begin the journey home.
