Hi Randy & All, Dec 1, 2008

Randy, Randy, Randy...
"Stellar" means "of stars". None of these objects are stars, so in =
this case "stellar" probably means "really wonderful."

Of course you're going to have "stellar" views...these are =
celestial bodies, after all!!!

Hi Everyone
Despite the forecast our walk was well attended with 19-20 =
birders. Some of whom travelled from New Brunswick and others from the =
merto area and other parts of the province.
Early morning to mid morning weather wasn't great at the best of =
times BUT by late morning when the wind finally got around to the west =
it cleared up quite quickly.
When we compiled our lists and memories for the day we were =
delighted to have found 76 species for the day that was up 3 species =
from the day before and 14 species detected on Friday were missed OR we =
just ran out of light.
Some Highlights were!
W. Kingbird (very well studied and photographer at 60-70' along =
the "Glasgow Head Road")
Green Heron (very shy but seen by all as it flew)=20
2 Grasshopper Sparrows (1 in the Marina provided a 8-10 min. =
view in the wide open in a fire pit, the second one on the water tower =
hill behaved more as expected for this species and gave only a couple =
fleeting glimpses.)
Sora (well seen by most and photographed by some)=20
N. Goshawk (flying along Dover Harbour)
RB Woodpecker (at my feeders)
4-5 Dickcissels (an easy study at my feeders)
Rusty BB (seen breifly at my feeders)
5 OC Warblers (dispersed)
Pine Warbler (traveling with a flock of chickadees near Flaherty =
Street)
2 Indigo Bunting (at the sports complex)
Piebilled Greeb (Chapel Gully)
RT loon (near the Marina)=20
A Bittern (not that common in our area seen in the dam)
SS Hawk, N Harrier, Merlin, Kestrel, and B. Eagle rounded out =
the birds of prey
Some of the above listed birds were lifers for some in the group =
and a few lucky birders picked up 2-4 lifers for the day. A real bonus =
for them and helps create a feeling of worth for the trip.=20
With the very large crop of "winter berries" (M. Ash, & =
Hollyberry) the ever building flocks of robins should be well fed for a =
while. We probably have a couple thousand A. Robins in the area now. I =
saw one flock of 8-900 circling over the town last week.
Our trip came to a conclusion in Little Dover. Alexander (my =
son) drew our attention to the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter for =
which we enjoyed stellar views of the planets and 3 of Jupiters moons =
through a scope. Our attention was drawn to the stunning view of the =
high pass of the ISS. As the space station faded from view so to ended =
our wonderful day in the feild taking in all natures beauty in the =
accompaniment of old and new freinds!
Thanks to all who took part in making this walk a success.
