<font size=3>Hi James:<br>
In view of Cape Sable's location,&nbsp; one would guess it to be
associated with a watery environment. These often hatch in swarms (my
experience anyway!) but may have spread out a bit before you
arrived.<br>
Lots of possibilities!<br>

There was a fly of some sort (1/4 in.) out and about at Cape Sable Island
today.&nbsp; It looked similar to a house fly, but was thinner and more
elongated.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>

&gt; Lovely today &amp; yesterday.....17-18C....why wish for
Spring??<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Flies, spiders &amp; other small creatures out &amp; about. Too
windy for <br>
&gt; flies today however...they have to fly really low. No Queen Bees
<br>
&gt; yet..usually don't see them till May 1 but you never know with these
temps.<br>
&gt; Our crocuses are not up yet but for those that are, should find
<br>
&gt; Honeybees &amp; perhaps Andrenid Bees on them.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Snooped around the waterbodies in E. Kings.<br>
&gt; Saxon St. Pond ...no action &amp; very little water. Drawn down so
far <br>
&gt; that it even discourages dabbling ducks. Hoped for a Killdeer here
but no luck.<br>
&gt; Canard Pond .....a few Mallards, G/W Teal &amp; C. Mergs. Still
<br>
&gt; ice-covered in the eastern part.<br>
&gt; Starr's Point D/U pond ...no ducks, no geese..Van Ostrooms pond
still <br>
&gt; ice covered.<br>
&gt; P.W. Sewage Ponds ..only a few Mallards. R/B &amp; Iceland Gulls
more in <br>
&gt; evidence than normal at this time of year.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; With the weather forecasted this coming week, we can hope for better
birding.<br>
