Hi,

Angus and I went part way down the Fundy Shore this afternoon, and saw some
birds of interest.


First off there were were 3 LBB GULLS in a field full of Herring gulls along
the 221 near North Kingston.

At Morden, there were a lot of ROBINS, but not much on the water.

At Margaresville, there were good numbers of SURF and WHITE-WINGED SCOTER,
C. EIDERS, 1 BLACK GUILLEMOT, 2 RED-NECKED GREBES, still with red necks, and
a single SNOW BUNTING flew over.

AT PORT GEORGE and Cottage Cove, we hit the jackpot, with something I have
rarely if ever sen that far up the Bay - real seabirds. There were N.
GANNETS, BLACK-L.KITTIWAKES, a flock of GREATER SHEARWATERS farther out, and
best of all 3 or 4 PAERASITIC JAEGERS - some of which we watched harrassing
Kittiwakes. The 1st ICELAND GULL of the season also flew by.

As others have commented, BLUE JAYS were everywhere.

Incidentally, just before dusk 2 evenings ago a pair of N.CARDINALS appeared
at the feeder on my deck.

Cheers,

Richard
