> A R.B.Merganser was not as lucky today. In Strachan's Cove, near St. Peter's, an apparently injured one was attacked by a GBB Gull. My brother-in-law tried to intercede, but was too late, though the gull nflew off, but didn't go far before he returned to pick at the now dead duck. The G.b. Heron is still in the area, now in this same cove near the marina in St. Peter's. Billy had already started to pick I was walking the dyke between Hortonville and North Grand Pre when I > became aware of a major "crow disturbance". There were dozens of crows > dive-bombing a spot in a plowed field. It took at least 5-8 minutes to > get to a point where I could see a Raven attacking what appeared to be > a Crow, down in a furrow. Given the occasional wing flaps from the > Crow, I thought he was a "goner". As I got closer, the Raven flew off, > as did all the Crows. The injured (?)
