Hi Helene
In the past week, I have had 2 Great Blue Heron sightings in Pictou =
Co.-Nov 28 Waterside PP and Nov 29 in Merigomish ( flying in the =
Finlayson I. area). I suspect the distance is far enough apart there =
might be 2 birds. I was at Waterside PP today but the pond area where =
the heron had been seen was frozen and no sign of the bird. I rather =
suspect these most of these birds like lingering Double-crested =
Cormorants ( I saw 16 today at the Pictou Yacht club) do not make it =
through the winter this far north.=20

cheers
Ken

  Hey Suzann and all, When do you usually see your last great blue =
herons? I know there are always some on the Christmas bird counts but =
just curious. We have one here that we will be overwintering. On that =
note, if anyone fishes for smelt or other small fish, keep us in mind :)

    It is the start of the winter birding season.  Keep track of your =
sightings, and add them to the master provincial list.  The web page is:
