Dorothy Poole and I took a run to both of the above locations yesterday. Birds seen have previously been reported by Murray and Johnny, with the exception of a few. We had a female harlequin duck in by the wharf at Port LaTour. There were three northern pintails also at Port LaTour, a male and two females. I had a great blue heron by the Mount Pleasant turnoff in flight and headed towards Crescent Beach. At Bacarro the waves were impressive. So impressive that we could not tell what birds were sitting in them. We saw two alcids which looked interesting in flight, but the disappeared into the waves before we could get a positive id. We had two snow buntings at Bacarro close to the bank edge and feeding in the grass. These were observed from the car when we pulled in. At Cape Sable Island we saw the two harriers, and brant previously reported. Also, at Daniels Head the redhead, five lesser scaup, and 45 greater scaup as reported by Johnny. Not mentioned I believe at Daniels Head were six Bonaparte Gulls and one Savannah Sparrow. Two of the killdeer were still at Clarks Harbour, on the shoreline by the ball field. We had a good day with 42 species. James R. Hirtle Dublin Shore _________________________________________________________________ Your Space. Your Friends. Your Stories.
