--94eb2c0b8438134fc0054126130a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi All, Fred and Harold Forsyth and I spent today birding on Brier Island. After spending a very cold, wet and windy Friday night in a trailer in Little River, we traveled to Brier and saw some great birding sights. Today was clear and sunny, still breezy and cool, but much better than Friday. Highlights: In Westport this morning a northern oriole, blue headed vireo, and four chipping sparrows. At Pond Cove, two dark rough legged hawks, a dunlin, six black bellied plovers, four semipalmated plovers, a bairds sandpiper, horned larks, snow buntings, bufflehead ducks and surf scoters. At West Light we saw the most spectacular sight. Fifty turkey vultures were rising on the thermals and updrafts and climbing to great height before lining up and heading off across the Gulf of Maine! A sight to match a similar show of broad winged hawks many years ago in the very same area. A great day birding with two great guys! See the eBird reports, some photos included. http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S32511069 http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S32510309 http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S32510844 http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S32510309 Cheers, George Forsyth --94eb2c0b8438134fc0054126130a Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi All, <br></div>Fred and Harold= Forsyth and I spent today birding on Brier Island.
