All:

The day before yesterday, Mike King flushed a meadowlark at Hartlen Pt. that he
sensibly was not prepared to call Eastern - always a tricky call without a
chance for study.  Using the excuse of having to be briefly in Dartmouth, I
looked for it today without finding it, but there was a cold, howling 
Nor'wester had come up mid-afternoon, and it may have been sheltering. Hope
others try, as this bird is worth finding; we should never assume that winter
memadowlarks are Easterns.

I did see a couple of first-winter Bonaparte's Gulls in the mostly Iceland Gull
flocks dip-feeding in the surf along the harbourside beach at H.P.

Best, Ian
