In the Cape region the Knot appears to be a coastal migrant only and has not been reported inland. A single juvenile was collected by the 1948 field party on August 14 (Hope, 1948). Pectoral Sandpiper. Eiolia melanotos. This spscies breeds south locally along the coast of Hudson and James Bays to Cape Henrietta Maria (Godfrey, 1966), and is at least an occasional breeder in the Cape region. Between July 20 and 24, 1947, at the Cape, Manning (1952) observed a total of 1,000 individuals in flocks along the flat shore, and in the grass marshes inland noted small groups of twos and threes or more. He collected a juvenile and five adults, one female of which had an incubation patch. Many Pectoral Sand- pipers were seen and collected by the 1948 field party, including two half-grown birds on July 5. On this same date, in an area of grassy marshes and many sloughs, inland from the coast a few miles, they observed agitated adults (Hope, 1948). In July. 1957 at Neskamagige and Kawinabiskak, Lumsden (1957a) noted that the species was numerous, with some flocks of more than 50 birds being seen. The species was observed on June 27, 1964, at radar site 415 (Lumsden, pers. comm.), collected near radar site 416 in August, 1968 (Young, pers. comm.). and in July, 1969 was seen at radar site 415 and in the.
