March 20, 2007 - VERNAL EQUINOX - I checked on five BALD EAGLE NESTS in eastern Kingšs County -- all of these are checkable without getting out of my car: - east of Wolfville, just east of Eye Road off Highway 1 -- adult eagle sitting on nest as if incubating egg(s); - Starršs Point Loop Rd./Willowbank Farm site (north bank of Cornwallis River -- I couldnšt see whether an adult eagle was on the nest or not (could have been facing the river and not seen) -- also a walking young woman there told me that eagles have been attending the nest-site lately; - northeast Starršs Point site (Chris Coxšs farm) -- adult eagle sitting on nest as if incubating -- also an immature bald eagle flew closely by the nest site; - Canard Road site, se. of Jawbone Corner -- adult eagle on nest as if incubating; - Greenwich, Noggins Farm site -- adult eagle on nest as if incubating. Thus 4 of 5 eagle nests checked had single incubating? adults on them, and the 5th nest was also perhaps occupied. --------------- Also just downstream from Wellington Dyke in the lower Canard River was an impressive flock of perhaps 800 CANADA GEESE (these are not new arrivals -- at least 4-500 have been reported off and on for most of the winter.
