NOV. 19, 2009 - Windsor sewage ponds (1 hr. after high tide): 12+  
Canada geese, 17+ Am. wigeons, 4+ green-winged teals, several dozens  
of black ducks, 1+ mallard, good numbers of each of 3 kinds of gulls:  
ring-billed, herring, and great black-backed; and only 2 probable  
black-bellied plovers, which were asleep the whole time I was there.

And another approx. 200 Canada geese were in open fields north of  
Hwy. 14 west from Curry's Corner? (jct. of King St. & Hwy. 14).

I made a bad error at the Hwy. 14 pond/stream where domestic white  
geese and various semi-tame ducks hang out -- I tried to turn around  
in the field grass and got hopelessly mired -- one of the very kind  
and too-polite farmers there pulled me out with his tractor and chain  
and refused a token payment.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
