Another Mahone Bay island, Bachman's, is a favourite of mine.  It has a 
small, protected cove and I have spent many nights at anchor there in my 
sailboat.  The shore has Spotted Sandpipers and Yellowlegs.  At night you 
normally hear a Great Blue Heron calling and in the morning birds sing in 
the surrounding woods.  Idyllic.

This island and Covey next to it are being purchased by the Province.

Hi All
This afternoon BB and I paddled to Andrews Island to
do a painting for next years supper. I may miss the
last minute rush to get one done but its a small price
to pay for being ready!
This is the island purchased by MICA initiatives. A
nice island with a good beach. A nice place to visit.
MICA has got the ball rolling - several other islands
in Mahone Bay were donated to the public and rumour
has it more announcements are coming.
Its a great way to get land in the public domain.
Hopefully some other places will get involved in the
islands close to them.
The bay was calm and the usual bay birds were around.
Guillemots, Loons, grebes and so on. A flock of
Buffleheads were very active. Clangula hyemalis were
singing their usual winter songs. Lots of noise. There
was another bird calling that I wasn't sure of.
Prehaps a Grebe.
Have a nice fall
Paul
