This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_lJoUBoAEfLr2arsqGRHUzw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sorry for the late posting of this info. After attending an event on the Chebucto Peninsula on Sunday, Wendy and I did a couple of short walks on the Prospect Peninsula. On our return drive north along Prospect Bay Rd, we noted a pair of Hooded Mergansers, both with fully erect crests, close to shore opposite civic # 65. Slightly further north, opposite civic #250, were several pairs of Goldeneye, mostly Commons but with one Barrow's male. These birds were a bit too far away for me to ascertain whether his partner was a Common or Barrow's. I mention this since I cannot recall if a Barrow's has been previously reported from this location. Finally, just a bit north of this location where Prospect Bay is quite narrow, we came across a sizable group of predominantly Black Ducks along with a single female Red-breasted Merganser and another crazy, mixed-up duck resembling a cross between a Mallard and a Northern Pintail......? Anyone other than Ian into hybrids? Cheers, Bob McDonald bobathome@eastlink.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: V. Redden To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 10:31 AM Subject: [NatureNS] Varied Thrush The Varied Thrush in Avonport was seen between Jan 30 and Feb 11, 2010. It was a male. It probably died, the weather was very cold in that period. I have an 'old-fashioned' film photo that I will scan and forward a copy to anyone interested if they contact me off list.
