Returning from the Dartmouth area this afternoon, took a short side trip to Grand Pre despite the weather. A Merlin was chasing a few stragglers from a mixed flock of Longspurs & Larks. The snow had melted the snow on the road shoulders so I expected some sparrows but no luck. Last winter and again this winter, the sparrows are not to found on the dykelands in any numbers. I find that odd in light of the mild fall/winter. At Evangeline Beach, a flock of ~12 scoters. Appeared to be Black Scoters as I could not detect any white but considering the rain and wind/waves, I was not certain. Blacks are the rarest of the three scoters in the Minas Basin. On the return trip across the dykelands, a male Harrier was testing the wind (as Don M. mentioned from yesterday) Angus.
