There's nothing more encouraging than those first early geese honking in the sky,..there were 4 Canada Geese strolling the lawn of a lavish property at the beginning of Myer's Point Road, in Jeddore on monday afternoon.
Cheers,
J. Foley
Head of Jeddore

There were the usual Common Eiders, Long-tailed Ducks, Surf Scoters, White-winged Scoters, Red-breasted Mergansers, and a Red-throated Loon and Horned Grebe - all in low numbers, but diving too frequently for me to get reliable counts. Then I saw a line of about 60 larger, dark, birds flying
northeast toward the head of the Bay. The krronk- krronk of the Canada Goose drowning out the "kakawi" sounds of the ducks identified them before I was able to get my binoculars on them. Soon about as many flew over my head in a V heading NE along the shore - a very encouraging sign of spring for this part of the province. I also had two male Red-winged Blackbirds at my feeder Sunday (11th), the first since last autumn.
Let's hope that the weather and sea are as co-operative for Richard Stern's NSBS/BNS field trip Sunday (meeting at Cottage Cove at 10:00 for those of us in the central and western part of the valley). Hope to see many of you there.
Cheers,

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more." - George Gordon, Lord Byron, 1812.
