As might be expected there were hundreds of gannets offshore, but in the lee of the islands that protect Burns Point there were 7 Harlequin Ducks and 6 Red-necked Grebes. In addition there were Snow Buntings, Horned Larks, and Lapland Longspurs scrounging seeds along the gravel road leading to Burns Point. All told I think we had a better show than the hordes of people wave-watching at Peggy's Cove.
