------=_Part_118036_28515666.1183949553192 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline We were at Long Beach, Baxters Harbor, Fundy Shore at supper time. Within a few minutes the gray clouds over the Bay of Fundy darkened and lowered, the wind whipped up, whitecaps formed on the bay, trees started bending, and even a "wall-cloud" came down from the ever blackening cloud base. I honestly thought we were going to get a tornado or something. However, within a few more minutes the whole phenomenon passed by and broke up, leaving bright sunshine and calm water again. At the height of this, 4 N.Gannets and a Sooty Shearwater flew west, low over the water of the bay. I have never seen either species this far up the Bay before, and I have never seen any Shearwater east of Digby Neck before, and certainly not in King's Co. It was almost as if they had been caught up in the storm and brought the 200km. or so from the Brier Island area. -- ################# Richard Stern, 317 Middle Dyke Rd.
