Co. July 16. It was cool and windy on arrival at 7 a.m. and immediately we saw a few srorm petrels along the causeway beach. We managed to photo a few and all appeared to be Leach's Storm Petrel about 9 there and 1 along the sandspit at west end of island. Water levels were high even for low tide and there were not many wader bars present even at low tide. However, a Harrier passing over the big salt marsh put up a 55 or so Lesser Yellowlegs. The shorebird variey was slim with 16 Willet, 5 Semipalmated Plover and 62 Lesser Yelowlegs. A few peeps flushed with the yellowlegs, but were too far away to ID. We discovered a fresh overnbird? out of the nest, a Cedar Waxwing tight on a nest along a trail that will get busy with warmer temps, a dead adult Gannet on the main causeway beach. There were just over a dozen Bonaparte's Gulls - 2 with full dark hoods. It was a nice birding day as the cool temperature and showers throught the day kept bird activity active. It did warm up enough for us to photo 4 types of butterfly. We tallied 52 bird species for the island. cheers ken --Boundary_(ID_jI0mcvfpI19ugHm7caQ5og) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.19088"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644<BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Charlie Kendell and I birded Big I., Pict.
