East Petpeswick Road,=20
West Chezzetcook, NS

Made a run down to Martinique Beach this afternoon to see what was =
around, especially looked for the Piping Plovers.  No sign of them but =
the weather was not especially good for them either.  However, on the =
return trip on the East Petpeswick Rd, I discovered another Little Blue =
Heron when I stopped to look at a Great Blue Heron.  Both birds were =
feeding near the shore of Petpeswick Inlet just south of municipal lot =
910 - there is a small white cottage on the left side of the road =
directly opposite of the bird's location this afternoon.  Approximate =
GPS coordinates are: N 44.44.626 and W 063.08.998 (or, at least that's =
what my Garmin GPS says, if I can believe it!)

When I approached the GB Heron, the Little Blue Heron surprised me when =
he flew off to some nearby trees.  I got a couple of pictures of him in =
the tree but not great quality due to the complexity of tree branches.   =
 After a while he took flight again and flew around the corner.  I did =
manage to get some good pics of him in flight.  They can be seen in my =
online gallery at:
