I found the Little Egret = immediately at 7:45AM upon arrival at the Shore Road pond. It was = unruffled, fully plumaged, erect, alert and flew with purpose. In my = judgement this is a healthy bird. You can judge from my photos when I = put them up. After the egret I undertook a run up the eastern shore. A delightful = surprise was a male Northern Shoveller on the roadside pond opposite = side of the road to the entrance, Hope for Wildlife. Beside the entrance = road to Fisherman's Reserve I found three Ipswich Sparrows. These guys = are likely working their way up to the staging area at Martinique Beach. = They fuel up here on kelp flies(maggots) before heading over sea to = Sable Island. Another surprise on the beach, near the bridge, Three = Fathom Harbour, were three Lesser Yellowlegs quite early and indeed = almost rare for this time of year.
