Salt Marsh Trail, Cole Harbour, NS
On a walk down the Salt Marsh Trail in Cole Harbour yesterday I found a
*Merlin*, 2 mature *Bald Eagles* and an *Osprey* all perched close to
the trail just before the first bridge. The birds were not all present
at the same time - they appeared individually within a 30 minute
window. I guess it is a popular spot for them to sit and watch the
walkers. There were also a couple of hundred *Semi-palmated
Sandpipers*, maybe a dozen*Black-bellied Plovers* and upwards of 50
*Lesser Yellow-leg Sandpipers* dispersed in the tidal pools between the
first and third bridges - it was low tide.
