Hi,

I too was at Grand Pre at high tide yesterday, but at the west end,
close to ther Wolfville sewage plant. There were just a few peeps
there, possibly because 2 Peregrines were patrolling the area.

Today we checked out the east end, where all the fishermen are - there
was a larger concentration of peeps, but this time we saw another
Peregrine snatch one from the edge of the flock in flight, over the
water - and carry it off towards Blomidon in its talons.

There was also a single AM.PIPIT on the rocks at the end of the path
by the parking area. ? early in the season for this fall migrant?
Oddly, every time it flew a short distance between the rocks, it
seemed to scare the nearby peeps, which took flight a little way.

Richard
