This past week I have seen a large flock of grackles and a large flock =
of starlings in the area. I haven't seen them the last day or two. =
This was in Barrington - a couple of miles from Oak Park.

Subject: [NatureNS] Did anyone see large flocks of diurnal =
migrants/waterfowl on the morning of Sept 21 (Thursday) in Yarmouth =
County?
Hi All,
I am the student that requested some advice for her radar project =
earlier from this list serve. This list was great and I had a great =
response but I'm back again to ask for some more help!
I was running a radar off of highway 103 near Oak Park in Yarmouth =
County. Between 7 to 9 am on the morning of September 21st, I recorded =
huge "blobs" of targets on my radar screen. I was not near the radar =
during this time so I was not able to see what was actually creating =
these blobs. One bird usually just creates a small "blob" so I know =
that there must have been large flocks.
All of these blobs were heading north and northeast-ish at heights =
ranging from 100 m to over 600 m. I have other radar sites at Pubnico =
Point, Shag Harbour and Cape Sable but these locations didn't show =
nearly the number of flocks passing overhead as my "inland" site =
(although Shag Harbour and Pubnico did have a few; Cape Sable showed =
none of these large blobs).
So, if anyone saw any large flocks of diurnal migrants or waterfowl, =
or has any other ideas of what may have been moving around that day, I'd =
love to hear it!
Cheers,
Carolyn
