A couple of <br/>> winters back, a snow goose hung out there for awhile as well. <br/>> <br/>> In recent years, I note an increasing proliferation of cat tails in the <br/>> fresh water marsh on the Wyman Road that accommodates the stream that drains <br/>> most of the golf course, en route to Broad Brook. So far, none have <br/>> appeared downstream of the road. Thought it may be a result of the <br/>> fertilizer applied to the course. I'm wondering , though, about the <br/>> importance of the considerable contribution the geese must leave behind. <br/>> <br/>> Another observation: The hypothetical golden eagle I reported from near the <br/>> corner of Ellis and Wyman Road about a month ago has been seen by more <br/>> people, and seems to be getting less hypothetical. Twice, in the past <br/>> couple or three weeks, when I have turned down the Wyman Road from Sand <br/>> Beach, I have seen a large, all-dark raptor flying high, with what seem to <br/>> be the same sort of body proportions. Hard to tell when you are in a hurry <br/>> and behind the wheel, but I have been looking sharp at bill-head-tail size. <br/>> Both times, the bird seemed to be tending near or over the southern end of <br/>> the gold course. Wonder if the geese are attracting it! <br/>> <br/>> -----Original Message----- <br/>> From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] <br/>> On Behalf Of Hebda, Andrew J <br/>> Sent: March 4, 2018 3:09 PM <br/>> To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca <br/>> Subject: [NatureNS] Canada Geese <br/>> <br/>> <br/>> Have had 8 hanging around in the marshes (Noel Shore) for the last 3 days. <br/>> Any others around? <br/>> <br/>> Andrew <br/>> </div> </body></html>
