Hi:

The run out to Sandy Cove, HRM, was generally unprofitable.  However, a House
Wren opposite 7 South Pt. Rd., Portuguese Cove, was of interest. It was a
grayish bird, presumably subspecies parkmanii from ON through West, rather than
the nominate aedon, which nests as close as NB, and which I believe has been
the form found here breeding or attempting to.

Off Chebucto Head, great wheeling swarms of N. Gannets were drifting slowly
southeast. There were also numbers of dolphin schools, at least some of which I
think were White-sided.  Alas, no other pelagics than a few B-l Kittiwakes; I
was hpoing for a laggard Cory's Shearwater.

Cheers, Ian
