I swung by Red Bridge Pond in Dartmouth today for a look at the =
Gallinule.  As reported the other day by Gayle, he was hanging about in =
the tops of the bull rushes when I drove up.  He let me take a couple of =
pictures which I uploaded to my gallery.  I left him some frozen cubes =
of water packed tuna mixed with water packed sardines and some spinach.  =
The ducks did not seem to fancy it and the gulls did not notice but, I =
also did not get to see the Gallinule eat them either =E2=80=93 maybe he =
likes it, maybe not.

I also visited Dartmouth Cove and Fisherman=E2=80=99s Cove in Eastern =
passage on the 14th and again today.  Not a lot of activity at either =
site today but on the 14th at Dartmouth Cove there were a couple of =
dozen Goldeneyes, 8 Red-breasted Mergansers, about 12 Scaup and 1 Common =
Loon.  Today at Fisherman=E2=80=99s Cove there were 3 RB Mergansers, 2 =
Common Loons and 6 or 8 Black Guillemots local to the cove.

Also, when I was down at Rainbow Haven on the 14th there was an Otter =
playing on the ice of the lagoon adjacent to Bailey bridge by the rifle =
range and 5 Buffleheads on the Cole Harbour side of the bridge.
