March 28, 2007 - Not very Spring-like today, with gale-force north winds and chilly temperatures. I did a bit of a drive around locally in the afternoon. At Port Williams sewage ponds, 34 MALLARDS. At Van Nostrandıs Pond on Starrıs Point, 2+1 CANADA GEESE and 2 MALLARDS. Canning: just upstream from the Aboiteau in the river were 200 CANADA GEESE and 4 COMMON MERGANSERS (1m,3f); in the river behind the Legion and in the field adjacent to the river were 400+ CANADA GEESE. Canard Pond and Fred Thomas Road both had many GULLS, but I couldnıt spot any reportable species. Canard Pond also had a few MALLARDS and a couple of BLACK DUCKS. I was too late to look at the New Minas sewage ponds, but from Middle Dyke Road I could see several ICELAND GULLS there. During my drive of over an hour, I saw no grackles nor red-winged blackbirds nor robins. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204 --------------------- Jim (James W.)
