OCT. 7, 2010 - Wolfville Harbour exhibited a very high, high tide =20
today at 12:53 p.m. (15.1 metres for today's tidal amplitude, =20
according to Blomidon Naturalists calendar, and will grow to 15.7 m. =20
for Oct. 8 & 9).  Shorebirds roosting there today were 21 greater =20
yellowlegs and 1 lesser yellowlegs.

The very high tide promises good tidal bores on Saturday, when =20
Sherman Williams will lead a field trip for the Blomidon Naturalists =20
Society -- all are welcome -- check the BNS events listed at =20
www.blomidonnaturalists.ca .  On that field trip we should be able to =20=

see the tidal bore in three different places in Hants County.

Saturday, October 9, 2010 =96 Tidal Bore Watch =96 Sherman Williams =20
(542-5104, sherm@glinx.com) will lead a trip to see the tidal bore at =20=

the Mantua Bridge and again at Scotch Village. This field trip will =20
be about 2.5 hr long. The tides are at high, so the tidal bore should =20=

be very good. We will be leave the parking lot by the Wolfville =20
waterfront at 10:15 a.m. sharp (as the tide waits for no man!). That =20
will let us see if from Tidal View farm, at 11:40 a.m., the Mantua =20
Bridge at 12:20 p.m., and a third time, at the Scotch Village bridge =20
\at 12:40 p.m.
