They can also regularly be seen soaring over the various roads between Middleton and Annapolis Royal - presumably part of the same flock. I don't know why that particular area supports such a large flock, while otherwise they are common in the Yarmouth area and Digby Neck/ Brier Island, with the range of individuals now spreading farther north and into Cape Breton. They are being reported year round, but seem to be more abundant in winter.
