Besides these nest reports below, which are quite good for fledglings per
nest, there are several more nests for e. King's County to be reported.  Two
of those are along the north bank of the Gaspereau River, west of White Rock
bridge, where Joanne Bezanson says there was at least one youngster produced
-- I need to find out what dates were the nest-checks by her and Ron.  And
Bernard Forsythe said there were two fledglings in the nest south of Cyril
Coldwell's house at Gaspereau.  More details will have to come from Bernard
and from Rick Whitman.

July 2, 2007 - Terry Pearson saw what he thought was a ROAD-KILLED ADULT
BALD EAGLE along highway 101 on the north side of the highway near the Grand
Pre exit -- I didnšt find out in time to check it out myself, and Terry did
not stop in his car.

July 3, 2007 - Eye Road BALD EAGLE NEST: at least one large fledgling being
fed by adult at 8:15 p.m.

Greenwich BALD EAGLE NEST at 8:40 p.m.: 2? large fledglings (silhouettes).
Note: did they have more than that earlier??

July 4, 2007 - Wallbrook BALD EAGLE NEST: an adult was present with 2 big
fledglings.  (Also I met Helen Morse, a friend of the Stirlings, there.)

Starršs Point Loop Road BALD EAGLE NEST: at least one large fledgling.

Starršs Point/Canard Riverbank BALD EAGLE NEST (on Chris Coxšs farm land),
ne. of Port Williams: at least 2 big fledglings.

Canard Road BALD EAGLE NEST (east and south of Hwy. 358): 3 big fledglings
filling the nest.

July 5, 2007 - BALD EAGLE NEST n. of Waterville, ne. of Berwick (on land of
Mitchell & Jennifer Visser): 2 large fledgling eaglets -- ALSO a bonus was
getting a good look at the small birds that were coming and going into the
side of the eagle nest, where they probably had a nest, were two HOUSE
SPARROWS.  This is IMPORTANT because for a few years we have noticed perhaps
the same kind of small birds associated with at least two other eagle nests
in our area -- one east of Wolfville, and one east of Port Williams -- and
we just couldnšt get good enough views of them to confirm my suspicions that
they were house sparrows.
