Hi all- I spent a day at the Kejimkujik Seaside (Little Port Joli side) on Friday before the storm, and saw the following, in no particular order: ~150 Bufflehead ~100 Common Merganser ~25 Red-breasted Merganser ~120 Black Duck 1 Black-bellied Plover ~60 Herring gull 1 Greater black-back Gull 3 Ring-billed gull 1 Northern Harrier 1 Bald Eagle 2 Great Blue Heron 1 Flicker 4 Song Sparrows 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets Several Blue Jays and Black Capped Chickadees Of special interest for this area was a flock of ~75 European Starlings, feeding all day in 2 hectares of saltmarsh. I've never seen Starlings at the Seaside before, let alone feeding in a saltmarsh and so far from a town. I must admit there have been few days when I've found Starlings as interesting. The Bufflehead numbers are also the largest I've seen in Nova Scotia. Finally, my parents have a Red-bellied Woodpecker visiting their feeders in Clydesdale, outside of Antigonish. Cheers, Brian
