Index of Subjects Hi Jim, I haven't seen a scaup here for a while, since the fall I'm sure. I'll try to get out this weekend. George Quoting "James W. Wolford" <jimwolford@eastlink.ca>: > FEB. 9, 2012 - In late morning along Hwy. 358 just north of Church > St., six bald eagles were perched together high and directly over the > highway. Then just south of the Canard River, I stopped my car to > view another six bald eagles on the ground in an open field. Without > my binoculars I would have missed two deciduous trees full of about 35 > bald eagles in the distance to the west (nowhere near a road). When I > drove back to Port Williams after 1 p.m., all but two of those eagles > had dispersed. > > Port Williams sewage ponds: I snuck up around the treatment building > and peered around its south side to view the northern pond -- with > about 100 mallards were at least five common goldeneyes (3 males, 2 > females) and a single drake scaup -- the scaup flew off before I could > scope its head, and I didn't get a good look at how much white was on > the trailing edge of the wing -- my guess is lesser scaup, but > hopefully someone will get the definite identification later (unless > George Forsyth already has?). > > Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
