There is an adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL on the ice in the East River of Pictou as seen from Bridegview square area. It is the same location where I had on Jan.1 on the Pictou Hbr. CBC although that bird seemed to have a little black on the bill. This one had a a red spot on bill and still had dark head streaking and a smudgy dark area around the eye. Took a distant photo. The male TUFTED DUCK was seen with Scaup from the Greens Pt. Rd. in Hillside. Between the Big Gut bridge and the Trenton Power plant, I observed 13 species of waterfowl incl. the Tufted plus 5 Gadwall, 3 GW Teal, 17 Hooded Mergansers and 3 American Wigeon. I also noted a Yellow-rumped Warbler off Park St. in Trenton. A stop at a feeder on North Albert St. and a chat with the owner indicated he had a fem. Cardinal present for 5 days. I did not see in in the time I was there but there were a number of Robins and I heard a waxwing sp?- a little hard to tell in the wind. The owner has been seeing Cedars from time to time. A Red-tailed hawk flew over his yard. Last Sunday, Jan. 24, there were at least 2 Pine Warblers at Park St. Trenton and the Brown Thrasher was briefly seen in Pictou near the McCulloch Museum. At least 8 Barrows Goldeneye were at the Pictou Causeway and 3 Kingfishers were noted from the Pictou- Trenton area. Singing WW Crossbills were noted in Bayview and from the Caribou PP. cheers Ken --Boundary_(ID_2syuB0U4pqzNSmRZ9aQRlQ) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18876"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><BR>Jan. 30, 2010</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just came back for a little noon drive (~ 1 hour) through Trenton- New Glasgow.
