I would like to say a few
words before we part on our separate ways. Well, coming
from the both of us we would just love to thank you all
for your warm hospitality here at Piskwamish. You
certainly are an awesome group of people.
Your passionate study of the
James Bay birds was definitely an inspiration to the
both of us, Darrell and Jeff. Being out there with Doug,
Eleanor, Jean, James, Brendan, Hellen, Lisa and
especially Mark, we thank you individually on taking the
time to share your knowledge and teach us the several
types of shorebirds living off the James Bay coast. You
inspired both of us in so many ways on continuing our
own bird study. With your knowledge and teachings we
learned to recognize not just shorebirds, but different
kinds of species of birds living on our homelands, such
as Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs. I personally only knew
one which was the yellowlegs. LOL! But now we know Least
Sandpipers, Hudsonian Godwits, Black-bellied Plovers,
Dunlin, White-rumps, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Marbled
Godwit, Ruddy Turnstone. Now I could go on along with
the other bird species, but certainly we are going to
miss heading out on the search for Red Knots and
different colour-coded flags.
The challenge was rewarding
and appreciating so again we thank you so very much.
