Kwe msit wen
(greetings all)

Yesterday I went birding with Cathy and Allan Murrant of Port Morien, cape Breton.  We went to Glace Bay beach, Port Morien sandbar, Homeville, and Morrissen Road.  We spotted the following birds:
Belted kingfisher
Piper plover
Herring gull
Willet
Yellow warbler
Red eyed vireo
Alder flycatcher
Northern flicker
Bank swallow
Common yellow throat
American robin
Nelson sharp tailed sparrow
Short billed dowitcher
Whimbrel
Hudsonian godwit
Blue heron
Ruddy turnstone
Eagle
Osprey
Savanna sparrow
Greater yellow legs
Lesser yellow legs
Semi palmated plover
Common tern
Loon
Cormorant
American crow

The highlight was seeing the piping plover with three of the cutest baby chicks you have ever seen. Little fluffs on legs.
7 of the birds on the list were lifers for me. Pictures will be posted to my gallery as soon as I get back to Halifax
