--001517477f86b6f30404ab5b9de3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi all, Liz and I have just returned from a lovely 5 days touring Cape Breton. For once we had decent weather for the whole trip. We spent a day sailing on the Bras d'Or Lake and picnicked in a wooded cove, did the Cabot Trail, walked the Skyline trail, walked a woodland trail near Glenora, visited numerous scenic spots and picnic parks, and ate very well and too much! Although we were only birding relatively casually, we didn't see or hear a single small bird, apart from a few passing Goldfinch and Starlings, and one or two Cedar Waxwings. Not a vireo, warbler, chickadee, wren, flycatcher, or sparrow. There was a single F. hummer (not a Rufous!) in the garden of the Glenora distillery. Finally this morning a Robin flew across the Trans-Canada! Have all the small birds already headed off, even the resident ones? However, we did see plenty of Gannets, Bonaparte's gulls, Bald eagles, D-C Cormorants, G.B. Herons, Crows, Ravens, a few Common terns, and today 3 separate overflying Sharp-shins. And that was about it, bird-wise. Perhaps Irene will bring in the goods! Richard -- ################# Richard Stern, 317 Middle Dyke Rd.
