Index of Subjects --94eb2c1b1102aac0270541d6fb27 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I went there and camped one weekend in July 3 years ago. Not the best time for birding, but interesting nevertheless. We only saw a few common birds such as Redstarts, B-C chickadees etc. but also Peregrines and Bald eagles that we suspected were nesting. We didn't see or hear any signs of Leach's storm petrels, but that doesn't mean they weren't there. There are people in the biology dept. at Acadia who have done studies there, and they would have the greatest knowledge. Dan Conlan, who is with one of the museums in Halifax (and might be on this list - I don't know) knows as much as anyone, if not more, and might have more to add. However, it's a neat place with a lot of native and other history, interesting geology, and certainly at least one unique small mammal and probably some unique plant life. on the principle that the more land that can be conserved the better, I would support its conservation.
