--0016e6476e76e571510467614763 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, Liz and I spent from Fri. noon to this morning on Brier Island. Friday was warm and sunny - the rest was wet, windy and cold. Water levels were very high and the W.Light road was becoming flooded below Camp Rd. Birds of note included -- - Brant .................. ~150, mainly in Pond Cove - Snow goose ....... 2 in the estuary along Digby neck, on Friday. Not relocated today. - Black scoter ....... Several in Pond Cove - Turkey vulture .... appr. 8, no doubt attracted by at least 3 dead seals on Pond Cove beach - Rough-legged hawk ... 1 light phase flying N.E. over Whipple Pt. - Am. kestrel .......... 1 over Freeport - Am.woodcock ...... 1 at dusk at our Camp - Snowy owl ........... 1 (prob. ad. F), in the big Meadow. Seen by us yesterday and others for the last few days. Some local people have seen 2 recently below W.Light. - E.Phoebe ............ at least 3 around the island - E.kingbird ........... 1 flew in near our camp. Because of the early date for this species I tried hard to make it into something more exotic, but it was just an eastern. - Brown-h. cowbird .. 3+ M. and 3+ F. in Westport. + the usual and expected on Brier. No exotics or rarities! We also had a good chorus of Spring peepers Fri. evening. Richard -- ################# Richard Stern, 317 Middle Dyke Rd.
