PADDI --001a11349474be6dfa04f8243c4b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I thought the info, about geo-location, showing that these amazing birds do indeed come this far north, as mentioned in the ABA blog mentioned in this thread, was fascinating. As an aside, I recently read a great book, that I can recommend to anyone interested in bird conservation and Bermuda Petrels, called Rare Birds: The Extraordinary Tale of the Bermuda Petrel and the Man Who Brought It Back from Extinction by Elizabeth Gehrman. It tells the story of the rediscovery of these birds some 300 years after they had thought to be extinct, and of the singular efforts of David Wingate to conserve and save the species. David was an incredible man, and amongst other things had a special relationship with NS, partly through his friendship with several NS naturalists and birders. I remember seeing a wonderful talk he gave in Halifax about Bermuda Petrels in the early 1980s. I can also recommend browsing this website - http://www.wildlifetracking.org/ , particularly the sections on seabirds that are seen, e.g. off Brier Island, for more fascinating info. on seabird movements, as well as the Black-capped Petrel links mentioned in the ABA blog..
