Index of Subjects Carol and I have just come back from that way. We checked out Bayport and Crescent Beach. The Black-bellied Plover wasn't seen at Crescent Beach but it was high tide when we arrived. A small flock of peeps flew by on the inner side of the causeway, but we couldn't identify them. We proceeded to CSI where we did some birding, spent the night at West Pubnico, and birded CSI today. We saw nothing (except perhaps Brant) that might be of interest to your birder. The only alcids were guillemots although you should keep in touch with Murray and Johnny as they will know what is around in the area. We managed to pick up a Belted Kingfisher in Port Clyde with the help of Johnny Nickerson's keen eyes. We had Yellow-rumped Warblers and Golden Crowned Kinglets on CSI. We did not see the Snow Goose or American Kestral although we gave them several tries This morning, Johnny saw a Gray Catbird at house 38 on the Hawk.

His list of target species is not large but does include several of the alcids and Eurasian Wigeon. I think that I can find the Wigeon but reports of alcids have been rather spotty recently. We will certainly visit Chebucto Head but are there other locations in the Halifax-Dartmouth area where alcids, especially Dovekie, are being seen recently. After leaving Halifax, he may be driving down the South Shore towards Cape Sable Is. Are there locations down that way where I should recommend that he stop? Any info you can share would be much appreciated. Regards, Bob McDonald Halifax
