style=3D' Probably the other frogs were Wood Frog- a choking quack. Very vocal now day and night.

It is along the Spar Ridge Rd in Yarmouth County. This is a 22 km road that goes around a few large lakes. The southern portion has more large spruces and pines and the northern section has mostly deciduous trees. There is no cell service for the most part and there are no houses and very few camps. > > We had 15 Barred Owls during the survey and another three at a random stop once the survey was done. Some of the Barred came in and started vocalizing near us, so I was able to get a recording that I'll post to eBird soon. There was one Northern Saw-Whet in the deciduous portion of the route. We heard gulls (Herring or Great Black-backed) at two stops near Big Gull and Spar Lakes. I'd like to visit those lakes to confirm breeding and numbers. We also had a few Common Loons, Spring Peepers, what sounded like another frog species and a few meteors. There were no clouds so the temperature dropped from 1 degree at the start of the survey to minus 4 at the end. > > Alix Arthur d'Entremont > BSc Geomatics Engineering > > 292 Abbott's Harbour Road > Middle West Pubnico > Yarmouth Co., Nova Scotia > Canada B0W 2M0 > > Phone: +1 902 762 2082 > Mobile: +1 902 307 0373 > e-mail: alixdentremont@hotmail.com > Bird Photography http://www.flickr.com/photos/alixd/ > Website http://alixdentremont.blogspot.ca/
