Well Angus I didn't say capelin.
</div>
<div>
I said capelin is a local name for silversides!
</div>
<div>
Important to be able to talk local!
</div>
<div>
Have a nice day

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">Thanks, Paul. Never considered capelin. Perhaps they are on the rise again after many years on the decline. Good news, especially for Puffins.</p>

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

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">Such gatherings can be found in Aspy Bay (Northern C.B.) in late fall /early 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 lots of surface fish, perhaps small mackeral for the Gannets but not sure what the loons would be finding in quantity.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">I had always understood that the North side of the Causeway offers better fishing (welling of water, etc.). Does anyone know (or can suggest) which  species the loons are finding in abundance on the south side?</p>

Loons are quite common anywhere along the coast most years. It's easy to see 5 or 10 from most places any winter. But I've seen the numbers on the South side of the Canso Causeway this time of year and it can be quite a spectacle. 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.
</div>
<div>
Much open water this year so I guess they didn't need go farther south.
</div>
<div>
It will be a while before they go to fresh water.
