On the other hand the Southern Upland of NS is riddled with lakes and sluggish rivers and estuaries along the Atlantic coast are relatively stable over the tidal range and much less muddy; better conditions for dive fishing and (as I recall) much beter conditions for seeing Osprey. Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherman Williams To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2010 7:41 PM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] re Valley ospreys? -- was Can anyone tell us ? I've lived in the Valley for over 40 years and have yet to see an Osprey in the area (Hantsport-Avonport-Gaspereau-Wolfville). I can't think of an instance when I've recorded seeing one anywhere in the upper Bay of Fundy-Minas Basin region. I've often wondered why not?? Do they not like fishing where there are extreme tides? Re R-B Nuthatches: I have two at the feeder (Avonport) every day, pretty much regular visits since mid-winter. For a while they were overlapping with two W-B Nuthatches, however, it has been two months since I've seen or heard the latter. Sherman On 22/05/2010, at 4:31 PM, James W.

In the Wolfville-Kentville area I only remember a single sighting of an osprey, at Evangeline Beach, decades ago, in my 35 years here. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

Reply-To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Hi, Ospreys are quite rare in the Valley, but there has been a pair nesting at Aylesford Lake for many years. Look across to the other side from the yacht club or the public beach area.
