(HRM)). While scoping a group of 68 Purple Sandpipers we were surprised by a Short-eared Owl which appeared from behind a hill and suddenly saw us as it was right over our heads. It made a smucking sound and turned away from us but spooked the sandpipers which settled back down again. I was able to photograph the unusual coloured sandpiper which has now been seen at this same spot for 5+ years. This purple sandpiper has a dark head, back and neck but almost white wings. Really stands out in the crowd. I must check my records to see when I first saw this bird. There was also a pair of Harlequin that flew in while were were looking at the sandpipers. A nice flock of 55 Black Scoter were seen from the same spot. There were 4 Dovekies at Harrigan Cove, 2 at Port Dufferin and 1 at Sheet Harbour Passage. We saw 3 Gray Jays in the drive from Stellarton to Sheet Harbour. cheers Ken --Boundary_(ID_aN9Q6xbxeyfuoV3qy2fwOQ) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16587" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644<BR>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shannon Queen and Ethan Huner joined me today, Jan. 7, for a nice outing to Sober I.
