It started of reasonably fine for a couple of hours, but then a number of heavy rain showers but with some clearing at times. Here are my highlights with my more complete ebird submission below this: A lone Snow Goose with a large flock of 400+ Canada Geese, 9 Northern Pintail, 1 Hudsonian Godwit viewed for 5 min.at east cornor of the causeway and photographed before the rising tide pushed it to some high tide roost, 9 American Golden Plover, and an Eastern Phoebe along Mason lane. Ann and Liz Doull were able to see the Snow Goose as well, a lifer for Ann and a nice end to her 2011 Big I. list as she is ending her summer stay tomorrow. cheers Ken Big Merigomish Island, Pictou, CA-NS 1-Oct-2011 7:45 AM - 2:30 PM Protocol: Traveling 15.0 kilometer(s) Comments: warm 17-21C, tide low on arrival and high on departure, light S winds, some heavy showers at times 65 species Snow Goose 1 Canada Goose 420 American Black Duck 307 Mallard 3 Northern Pintail 9 Green-winged Teal 46 Surf Scoter 108 White-winged Scoter 2 Hooded Merganser 9 Red-breasted Merganser 2 Ruffed Grouse 2 one was drumming in the rain!!
