Index of Subjects Hi John A common affair each late fall and winter evening through out their range. They go to sea in the evening, return in the morning. The morning flocks are smaller - prehaps 2 - 4. Flocks may get broken up in the night at sea. Mergansers go first - then whistlers ( golden eyes ) then long tails then scoters. They follow the reverse pattern returning in the morning. Loons will be mixed with the earlier birds. The scoters go late on a moon light night but earlier on the dark of the moon. Brings back good memories. Have a nice winter Paul --- John Kearney <john.kearney@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: > Late this afternoon, I spent some time doing a > sea-watch at Point Prim, > Digby County.
