To Nick and Tuma's list, I can add 13+ ring-billed gulls at the  
Wolfville sewage ponds (between Grand Pre and Wolfville along the  
main dyke), and about 30+ Canada geese seen distantly in flight  over  
the Starr's Point/Port Williams area (seen from Grand Pre).  I also  
saw a single adult female n. harrier, and I wonder whether Nick &  
Tuma thought there were 3 different individual harriers?

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
