This time we were hosted on our walk-around by Dottie Welch, a very
knowledgable birder who lives right on the marsh edge. Unfortunately for us
NNSer's she's not part of our Talk List but I'm working on her.

With her help we spotted 5 red-breasted Mergansers and 2 Yellow-eyes. They
were in the open water areas around the little bridge to the parking lot.
There were some Old Squaws on the open coast off Half Island Pt. There were
two Purple Sandpipers on the tidally exposed rocks going out to Fox Pt.

There was what appeared to be a DYING HARBOUR SEAL on the beach on our side
of the estuary outlet across from Lawrencetown Head. He couldn't seem to
move from a position of lying on his side. Occasionally he would put his
free flipper up in the air and he would look alert. But mostly he seemed to
close his eyes as if in pain. Was there anyone we should have notified?
