On Sunday, the flock of Canada Geese had grown to 800.  In the harbour near Rocky Run there was one lone female Northern Pintail with the American Black Ducks.

  Subject: [NatureNS] Ducks at Three Fathom Harbour today


  With wind, strong surf and choppy conditions there was little to be seen in the main harbour at Three Fathom Harbour today, except good numbers of completely ordinary gulls, 500 Canada Geese and a dozen C. Eiders.  But in the calm and shelter of a small area of Dottie's Pond that remained open, ducks had collected and were feeding busily:
  Am. Black Duck         - 200
  Red-breasted Merganser - 20
  Bufflehead            - 15
  C. Goldeneye        - 18
  Barrow's Goldeneye        - 1 m.
  Lesser Scaup        - 8

  In the harbour at Rocky Run:    
  Greater Scaup        - 24

  At the feeders at my cottage, Black-capped Chickadees and Am. Goldfinch in their usual numbers.

  Cheers,
  Susann Myers
