--f46d0447a10fe04f2004cc70540f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I was working in Annapolis Royal today, so left early and took the back roads, to see and take photos of the stunning display of Fall foliage in great early morning light. I walked the French Basin Trail at Annapolis Royal. The whole area was loaded with Robins, but surprisingly there were very few Y-R warblers and 1 C.Yellowthroat. There were several Common Grackles. The main pond was just covered with waterfowl - Sorry, E-bird enthusiasts, I didn't attempt to make any sort of even semi-accurate count. But species seen were Canada Goose, Wood Duck, Gadwall, Am. Wigeon, Black Duck, Mallard, Green-W. Teal, Ring-necked, Bufflehead and Hooded Merganser - most in large numbers. There was a group (? family) of 6 juv. Pied-billed Grebes. On the way back, I checked with a lady in Paradise, who had called me last night about a Hummingbird still coming to her feeder. It was there, and I was able to get good quality photos - I'm pretty sure it's just a juv. M. Ruby-throated. Then I had a look at the Port George area at high tide. There was a lone M. Black Scoter, a small flock of Surf Scoters (for a total of 12 waterfowl species for the day) , and a few C.Loons, with Gannets well offshore.
