Late this afternoon, I spent some time doing a sea-watch at Point Prim,
Digby County. Between 4:35 and 5:37 pm, I counted 1,185 Long-tailed Ducks
flying out of the Annapolis Basin, through Digby Gut, to offshore Bay of
Fundy, presumably to roost for the night. Most flocks numbered between
20-30 birds with some flocks between 50-60 birds. The flocks continued
passing until it was too dark to see them.
