Alison and I drove along the Bay of Fundy through Port Lorne, Port George, Margaretsville on Sunday and had a marvelous time sighting sea birds. We had been to St.Croix Cove to monitor some Nature Conservancy property there and were heading home to Cambridge. It was nice to read the reports of Gary Myers and Patrick Giffin for the same day for that area. Along the coast from the wharf to the lighthouse at Port George, we counted 20 Harlequins, with most being males. Near the wharf we sighted small groups of both Surf and Black Scoters plus Eiders. We missed the Long-tailed Duck seen by the Giffins. There were a couple of Common Loons in the water there. We hardly paid attention to the Great Black-backs and Herring Gulls along shore. At the Margaretsville wharf there were more Eider ducks and Surf Scoter but there was also a Black Guillemot and a Red-necked Grebe diving and feeding off the point. Earlier we had surveyed the pond west of the village and watched the Hooded Mergansers there with a couple of Black ducks. It was near 6 pm by the time we hit Margaretsville and decided not to go to Morden so we missed the large flock of Surf Scoters mentioned by Gary. Larry Bogan
