A Bald Eagle was sitting on a nest off the MacBeth Rd. in Plymouth. We did not observe any Double-crested Cormorants at the Pictou Causeway or along the Pictou Harbour. We watched a Common Raven carrying sticks to a half-built nest at the intersection of the Priests Rd. and the overpass of the TCH 106 ( Caribou Ferry Rd.). Pictou Harbour had hundreds of Red-breasted Mergansers. The Bald Eagle was sitting on the nest at the Seaview cemetery in Pictou. A pair of Eagles at the Granton turnoff from the TCH 106 were sitting side-by side in a pine not far from a known nest. There were hundreds of American Robins in fields particularly in the Poplar Hill-Scotsburn area and there were also scores of Common Grackles, Red-winged Blackbirds and Song Sparrows. A NORTHERN SHRIKE was seen along the McBain Rd. in a cut-over area and nearby a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers was behaving quite territorial. White-winged Crossbills were present along that road as well, but quite quiet compared to when I first observed them in January. On Sat. evening ( Mar.20), I did some owling in the West River Station and had a Northern Saw-whet Owl calling about 9 p.m. I had Woodcock opposite Saltsprings PP and in also in Watervale at dusk. A Barred Owl called near 10 pm from behind the wood mill along Rte. 4 in Central West River. Atlas season is cranking up! cheers Ken --Boundary_(ID_NGT+yUr5oDEwS7WtEKWqcg) 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>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Steve Vines and I did a little birding/atlassing Sunday afternoon ( Mar. 21) in Pictou Co.
