    Hey,
    I finally got out birding a bit this afternoon down around the =
wolfville
    sewage ponds, the dykes and grand pre.  Saw the following birds: =
Savannah
    Sparrow (4), Song Sparrow (8-10), Ring-dilled Gull (50), Great =
Black-backed
    Gull (5), Herring Gull (30-40), Iceland Gull (20-30, especially at =
the
    sewage ponds), Black-Headed Gull (1, at the sewage ponds), =
Red-tailed Hawk
    (4-6), Rough-legged Hawk (1) and a Peregrine Falcon (adult).  It was
    definitelly nice to get out and some decent birds.  That's the =
second
    Black-headed Gull I have seen in the area this year, first was in =
late fall,
    otherwise I believe they are quite rare in the annapolis valley, =
correct me
    if I am wrong though.  Back to studying.
    Bird on,
    Luke DeCicco
