<html> <body> Our last day in Cape Breton saw a lessening of the strong winds (up to 80k) on Wed, (Oct. 10) so I checked out a few place in N. Victoria Co.<br> - many Red-breasted Nuthatches (20-25 in loose flocks) feeding on the heavy cone crop of White Spruce.<br> - Juncos were by far the predominant sparrow feeding on the road shoulders.<br> - a well-marked Savannah Sparrow in unusual habitat (spruce & tall hardwoods). Must have been migrating.<br> - a Fox Sparrow in same area (Ridge Road- Cape North).<br> - at Dingwall (former Highland Lodge), found three separate remains (feathers) of Ruffed Grouse in a very short distance. Presumably a Great-horned Owl which are common in the area. However the Owl did not get them all as a Ruffed Grouse was drumming repeatedly nearby.<br> - a small flock of White-winged Crossbills in same area.<br> <u>South Harbour Beach/Aspy Bay<br> </u>- 84 C. Geese<br> - 12 Dunlin<br> - 2 S/P Plovers<br> - 2 B/B Plovers<br> - 2 Great Blue Heron<br> - 1 <b>Common (Mew) Gull</b>. Recorded one at same site on October 10, 1993.<br> - 1 Bonaparte's Gull<br> - 8 Horned Larks<br> - 100+ scoters on Aspy Bay but the only ones (3) close enough to i.d. were White -winged.<br> - 1 Red-necked Grebe<br> - 1 Yellowthroat<br> - 4 Thrushes (1 Hermit, 1 Swainson's, 2 undetermined)<br><br> <u>Thursday.. Oct. 11<br> </u>- an Osprey N. of Ingonish<br> - a Gray Jay at Cape Smoky<br> - a <b>meadowlark </b>along access road from #102 to Brookfield.<br><br> Angus<br> </body> </html>
