Hi,

I had a very successful fogging experience over a 24 hr. period on Brier
yesterday and today. There were many species and large numbers of fog, with
light fog, partial fog, pale fog and misty fog, but mostly large flocks of
thick fog- which are pretty easy to ID. They briefly retreated to more open
water yesterday evening. The vocalizations were quite numerous, but harder
to ID, with several lighthouse foghorns, boats and the ferry all being
audible, sometimes at the same time. An occasional bird put in an appearance
- most notable being 7 Turkey Vultures roosting in a tree near a dead seal
between the 2 ponds, and on the ferry this morning, in Grand Passage, a
flock of about 100 Red Phalarope and a Greater Shearwater, but they were
soon overwhelmed by the thick race of sea-fog species. The fogging
highlight, though, was drinking wine with some friends on their deck close
to my camp, watching the flocks of fog pass by over Pond Cove, yesterday
evening.

Happy fogging,

Richard
