In summer 2014, the Canadian Wildlife Service,
Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Bird
Studies Canada in cooperation with the Moose Cree First Nation
operated three shorebird camps in Western James Bay: Little Piskwamish Point, Longridge Point and North Point. I
was at
Little Piskwamish from 30 July to 13 August. Longridge Point is 60 km from Moosonee and
North Point is 25 km north of Moosonee. Little Piskwamish Point is
between these two camps at about 47 km north of Moosonee. |

great companions at camp and on the mudflats.Their dedication to
shorebird conservation was remarkable. |

Jeff and Darrell Isaac
joined our crew on 5 August. A great asset to our shorebird surveys,
they also taught us much about Cree culture. |
| |
|
 |
|
Every day we headed out to do shorebird
surveys and read flags on Red Knots. Some went south up to 9 km each
way looking for Red Knots, others went north about 5 km each way.
