Scatarie Island, off Cape BretonWednesday, July 2, 2008

I visited Hartlen Point today for the first time in a few months.   It =
was nice and cool and, of course, foggy.  I like foggy days because =
birds seem to come out in the open as they do in my presence.  Thought I =
would look for my first Spotted Sandpiper and Sharp tailed sparrow for =
this year.  Lots of Savannah and Song sparrows, a few of them having =
insects in their beaks.  I thought I saw one Ipswich sparrow??  Finally, =
one lone sharp tailed sparrow popped up and perched on a branch for a =
while.  Good looks.   I flushed out a young Northern Harrier out of its =
hiding in the thickets.  No shorebirds, not even Spotted sandpipers =
anywhere...  It was good to have barriers in place to block those big 4 =
x 4 trucks from trampling all over the place.  I bet  we will see a lot =
of good birds coming back in the near future. =20

Cheers,=20
