Interesting to note Angus did not find any N. Pintails on Saturday.
On Friday 10 Nov., there were still 10 N. Pintails, at least 7 of them were
adult males.
Also: 1- Am. Coot, 2 male - Blue-w. Teal (who shortly departed), and close
to 100 Grn-w. Teal.
The numbers of ducks including Blacks and Mallards feeding there has dropped
quite dramatically lately. Maybe there had been another 'movement'
overnight.
Cheers

Subject: [NatureNS] Kings Co. Ponds
Checked a few of the local ponds this afternoon:
Saxon St. Pond - no ducks. Likely water level too high for dabblers.
Canard Pond - ~ 50 G/W Teal (numbers tailing off)
- 1 male Blue-winged Teal (perhaps my second one this year
which illustrates their scarcity this summer)
- ~35 Mallards
- ~ 10 Black Ducks
- no Pintails (perhaps at New Minas Sewage Ponds, not
accessible on weekends).
Port Williams Ponds - somewhat similar to Richard S.' experience, 3 nervous
Mallards and another without a care in the world. At any rate no Barrows.
Otherwise an adult Lesser B/B Gull at Steam Mill on the roof of a chicken
barn. Only found one other off Saxon St. & the Canard Poultry Plant. Lots of
recently plowed fields but apparently not enough gulls to occupy them all.
At the Poultry Plant, a flock contained ~60 Cowbirds, a few Song Sparrows &
only a few Starlings. Cowbirds are usually scarce in the Valley at this time
of year.
