Index of Subjects Ken McKenna Box 218 Stellarton NS B0K 1S0 902 752-7644 Hi Brian The Island is a nice birding area. I think I might try there some spring or fall for migrants. I think it might be a good trap. Don't supose you remember where on Janvrin's you had the Purples? We had ours at the Cape Auguet lighthouse area. It was a nice walk up to the light. I have seen Purples there other years as well. Another nice hike is at Cap Rouge on Petit-de-Grat. I was hoping to get my first NS King Eider. No luck!! Radar looks like Moncton gettting hit again. Not much down here yet, 3-4 cm. cheers Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Dalzell" <dalzell@nbnet.nb.ca> To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 6:54 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Re: Purple Sandpipers at Isle Madame > Your mention of Janvrin jogged an old memory.
