Idenified by binoculars at abouut 30 ft from the road, and unmistakable. ----- Original Message ----- From: Elizabeth Doull To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Friday, April 09, 2010 10:03 AM Subject: [NatureNS] Birding - South shore, Valley Had a great time birding yesterday (Thursday, April 8th). The highlights were: 1 Little Blue Heron - Oakland (near Mahone Bay) 1 Green Heron - The Guzzle (The Hawk, CSI) 300 ? Brants - CSI 10 + Brown headed cowbirds - The Hawk - CSI 1 Tree swallow - The Hawk - CSI 1 small swallow. possible Cave or young Cliff - I am checking with expert birders 5 Turkey Vultures - over and near Exit 31, Hwy 101 (French Shore) 2 male Wood Ducks - Margaretville Pond 8 Hooded Mergansers - Margaretville Pond 1 Black Scoter - Margaretville 1 Surf Scoter - Margaretville 1 Black Guillemot - Margaretville 2 Red necked Grebes - Margaretville 2 Horned Grebes - Port George -full plumage 11 Harlequin Ducks - Port George (land and in water) No chance to check murres in Morden as I wanted to get back to Halifax before dark. Met Ethelena Murphy who reported seeing some blue winged teals and barn swallows in the Yarmouth area yesterday. No specific details available. Two big changes in Cape Sable Island. We can no longer drive up to the end of Hawk to scope shorebirds because it's now gated. However, we CAN walk up there. There is a new parking lot at Daniel's Head. It's similar to the one at the Hawk.
