Such gatherings can be found in Aspy Bay (Northern C.B.) in late fall /earl=
y winter (before the drift ice moves south from the Gulf of St. Lawrence). =
Just a bit earlier Gannets tarry here on their migration south. Obviously l=
ots of surface fish, perhaps small mackeral for the Gannets but not sure wh=
at the loons would be finding in quantity.
I had always understood that the North side of the Causeway offers better f=
ishing (welling of water, etc.). Does anyone know (or can suggest) which s=
pecies the loons are finding in abundance on the south side?

Loons are quite common anywhere along the coast most years. It's easy to se=
e 5 or 10 from most places any winter. But I've seen the numbers on the Sou=
th side of the Canso Causeway this time of year and it can be quite a spect=
acle. I can't think of anywhere in NS that you can see that many in such a =
small space.

Well Billy Loons seem quite common all along the shores.
Much open water this year so I guess they didn't need go farther south.
It will be a while before they go to fresh water.
