Index of Subjects This morning while walking to work, I heard the sound of geese honking, and looked up to see a skein of about 85-90 Canada Geese fly overhead, coming from south to north. Presumably they will drop down into the Cole Harbour or West Chezzetcook Marshes. There should be open water there by tomorrow, after all the rain that is forecast, if there isn`t yet!

However, yesterday I saw 2 Canada Geese at East Point, North Grand Pre. Today I saw about 110 flying in two flocks over Greenfield (well inland) flying S to N, "obviously" coming over from the South Shore. These are early migrants in my books. > > > Also today, at the swamp/stream near Little Lake, Greenfield, I saw a male Kingfisher above some open water. I realize a few Kingfishers over-winter in NS but, again, you do not see a Kingfisher at this forest swamp in winter as it is frozen solid & covered in 1-3 ft of snow. > > > We survived for another spring. > > > > Rick Whitman
