	an Am. Coot found by Carl Haycock along the road in Westport 
on Nov. 3 (and 2 more the same day in Tiddville Pond, Digby Neck)
	three Lesser Black-backed Gulls (two first-winter and and adult 
graellsii) with feeding gulls in Pea Jack Cove on Oct. 30 and another 
imm. bird at Northern Point on Nov. 3
	an E. Phoebe in Westport
	nice flocks of Pipits, Horned Larks, Snow Buntings and Lapland 
Longspurs, mainly in Pond Cove, throughout.
	a flock of 12 (!!) E. Bluebirds along the Lighthouse Road on Oct. 
31-Nov. 1
	an adult Pine Warbler at David Pugh's feeder on Nov. 1
	a flock of 25 Chipping Sparrows lingering at a feeder in 
Westport
