I dread the wrap-ups where I report no loons and Ken says, "What, they
were everywhere!" So I'm always glad when Ken misses seabirds that I don't
get on my part of the Antigonish count...the water surface was devoid of
almost all birds...no loons or grebes or cormorants.
Highlights for Krista DeCoste and me were:
Northern Mockingbird at the Sewage Treatment Plant
Eurasian Wigeon, Kennedys Cove
Cedar Waxwings, Mahoneys Beach
