Hi all
Todays storm did not develop a great deal in Pictou Co. I was hoping =
the winds would be strong east for longer. I went to Big I. at noon =
today. Maybe I should have gone earlier but it was wet before that. The =
winds had died out and ther were sunny periods. No wind blown birds, but =
I did have a young CASPIAN TERN in the big salt marsh on the point by =
the blinds. There was also a LAPLAND LONGSPUR along the first part of =
the causeway. Other birds in number were
Great Blue Heron-25
Bonaparte's Gull-150
Common Tern -37
Black-bellied Plover-10
Semipalmated Plover-38
Greater Yellowlegs-3
Lesser Yellowlegs-1
Sanderling-12
White-rumped Sandpiper-20
Dunlin-22
Semipalmated Sandpiper-3
Surf Scoter-175
Northern Gannet-30
There were also 2 Red-necked Grebes , 1 Horned Grebe, 1 Red-throated =
Loon and I flushed 4 Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows trying to get closer =
to the shorebirds on the big saltmarsh. Counting the access road as part =
of Big I. I had 7 species of warbler although I did not spend much time =
looking for woodsy birds. Most numerous ware Blackpoll-25, and Myrtle =
-30. There were Nashville-3, Parula-3, Black-throated Green-3, Chestnut =
-sided and Common Yellowthroat at one each. Juncos were also in good =
numbers.=20
A Golden Plover (American) seen on Sat. Sept. 30 was not =
re-discovered today. Also on Sat. were Hermit Thrush-6, Magnolia, Palm =
and Black and White Warbler, a single Black-headed Gull and a Brown =
Creeper. Both days I had about 55 species in 3-4 hours birding.
