On the morning of Saturday, February 3, Dave McCorquodale and I did a bit of birding around HRM, mainly on the Eastern shore, in intermittent rain.  The wind was light until the afternoon, so reasonable birding weather.  Highlights were:

Northwest Arm and Dartmouth Cove:  
    1 Great Cormorant at each location

Dorothea Drive, Dartmouth:
    N. Cardinal - 1 female still present
    Song Sparrow - at least 6
    White-throated Sparrow - at least 2

Conrad Marsh:
    N. Pintail - 1 female
    mink - 1, very active, swimming and loping on the ice - made a dash at a female Red-breasted Merganser

Lawrencetown River:
    Am. Wigeon - 10

Three Fathom Harbour:
    Greater Scaup - 15, at Rocky Run 
    Belted Kingfisher - 1, at Dottie's Pond
    scoters - all 3 species in small numbers, in the outer harbour
    Black-bellied Plover - 1, seen from Causeway Road

Canada Goose:  approx. 900 total, from Conrad Marsh to West Chezzetcook  

Cheers,
Susann Myers
