Down here in the Yarmouth area they are common, now. I saw my first one the summer of 1982 or ’83, flying from Chebogue to Yarmouth. A former fox and lynx farm seemed to be an attractant. It’s long gone, but they have stayed. A couple of slaughterhouses in the area probably don’t hurt. Hate to say it, but better vultures than eagles (which are also increasing in abundance, while the reverse applies to ospreys). </span></p> <p class="yiv9368892194MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></p> <div> <div style="border: none; border-top: solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt; padding: 3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm;"> <div id="yiv9368892194yqtfd04893" class="yiv9368892194yqt6607867943"> <p class="yiv9368892194MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt;">From:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt;"> naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of bdigout
