Thanks, Paul. Never considered capelin. Perhaps they are on the rise again =
after many years on the decline. Good news, especially for Puffins.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Common Loons
Well Angus I don't have first hand info but my knowledge of
the area sugest Silversides. They go under a lot of local names
Spearing, Caplin and so on. They are very plentiful in
shore in the Gulf and through the Gut.
Often Mergansers, cormorants gulls feed on them.
Doesn't seem to be many around here

I had always understood that the North side of the Causeway offers better f=

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.
