Index of Subjects Hi Eric, If I am not fishing I will help with the xmas bird count. Either on land or sea. I have been busy fishing but try to take note of what I see. There is still a Blue Heron here in the harbour. 2 pairs of Buffleheads. Long tailed ducks are common now. Scoters,guillemots, Eiders, etc. There are still hundreds and hundreds of gannets in and offshore.(Also lots of Murres, Puffins, Razorbills, Kittiwakes, and a few Iceland and Glaucous gulls.) I have a picture of gannets(one of many) that Jeanette Denton took with her camera. I will scan and send to you. It was taken off southern point with Peters Island in the background. Flocks of WW crossbills abound. Juncos. Etc. There are still a few raptors around. I was in Freeport today in this gale but had time to check out the Cove. There are at least 20 bufflehead and I saw my first Northern Shoveler for the area. I watched it for 20 minutes and stopped back on my way home and it was still there. On school street near the picnic table there is a pull off, an excellent place to view the birds in the Cove. I'll try and keep in touch. Carl
