Fourteen= participants enjoyed a nice day and when all was said and done we had roug= hly 43 species. At Port Clyde some of us heard our first wood frogs for th= e season. I heard a spring peeper far out on the Blanche Peninsula and the= Clarences saw a question mark butterfly. There appeared to be a movement = of turkey vultures. We saw two at Port Clyde. Sandy Hiltz reported to us = that three had been there. Out along the Blanche Peninsula three more of t= hese birds were observed. The Clarences who continued on to Barrington and= Cape Sable Island saw six more. I had another near the Liverpool exit whe= n heading back towards Bridgewater. That would make thirteen turkey vultur= es total.Of interest were about 81 or so red-necked grebes. It should be n= oted that it was very hard to show people the waterfowl present. I've neve= r seen them so skittish. The moment we approached no mater how far away we= were or what species was present these birds flew right away. =20 A list of species observed on the trip were: 1. American Crow 2. Common Raven 3.
