Highest number of shorebirds in years at Johnson’s Mills Shorebird Reserve
The staff at Johnson’s Mills Shorebird Reserve, just outside of Dorchester, N.B., are seeing a spike in shorebird numbers.Assistant Manager Jordan Myles said in an interview on Saturday that’s more than double the numbers they recorded last year.
The birds typically come to the Bay of Fundy in August to double their weight while feeding on the mud flats before migrating to South America for the winter. Though the birds aren’t endangered, staff at the reserve monitor their numbers each year, as the number of shorebirds has been declining since the 1970s.
