My tally for the night at 347 was close to what Ross and = Linda Hall recorded on the 27th. A peak count of 558 was recorded May = 23. Most years the peak is later and into the first week of June. We = will see what the next week brings and report on it. Any clear night in = the next week should give good showing till the numbers start to dwindle = as birds move to breeding locations.=20 There were 12 people on hand for last night's show including a couple of = people from Maryvale, Antigonish Co.
