Antigonish Coastal Waters

 - concise NSBS trip report



An even dozen birders shared a glorious autumn day to observe the bird life
of coastal Antigonish County. It's not often, at least I presume this, that
the trip leader gets a life bird on his own trip, but the highlight of the
day for many of us (including being the lifer for me) was a *Prairie Warble=
r
* at Williams Point.



We had at least 65 species for the group=85sorry to disappoint those going =
for
75=85



We had 18 species of ducks and geese, with Greater Scaup and Long-tailed
Duck being notably absent. We had five raptors including a Barred Owl that
hooted in response to the playback of a N Saw-whet Owl. We also counted six
species each of gull and sparrow.



A *Marsh Wren* was seen by one and heard by several. One *Ruby-crowned
Kinglet* was probably wondering where all of its buddies were=85



Finches were not abundant, but diverse=85we only missed Pine Siskin of the
expected finches.
