   <span style=3D"font-size: 12pt;">One evening a few days ago I watched a =

  <div>
   <span style=3D"font-size: 12pt;">One of the main points of the program w=
as the effect of Black Flies</span>
  </div>=20
  <div>
   <span style=3D"font-size: 12pt;">on the eaglets. And the Black Flies wer=
e one of the main cause</span>
  </div>=20
  <div>
   <span style=3D"font-size: 12pt;">of mortality in eaglets. Not been an Ea=
gle expert I was wondering</span>

   <br/>&#62; MAY 23/20 =E2=80=94 Today Pat &#38; I drove out to Lower Cana=
rd Road, then north on Wellington Dyke Road (gravel) to the bald eagle nest=
 that Doug Linzey reported a week ago. Today there wad some confusion, when=
 a red-tailed hawk flew by the nest very closely, then landed on a nearby p=
ower pole. We didn=E2=80=99t see an eagle at the nest, but I think I saw a =
fuzzy head of an eaglet there. Growing leaves on the poplar? nest-tree make=
 viewing difficult.

   <br/>&#62; At 2:20 p.m. the local tides were very high, listed on the BN=
S Calendar as 11.5 metres =E2=80=94 but a strong &#38; very cool wind from =
the northeast must have created a big storm surge, so that the actual high =
tide level must have been up to about 16 metres?
   <br/>&#62;=20
   <br/>&#62; Also Pat &#38; I were very disappointed that the Irving Botan=
ical Gardens at Acadia Univ. are closed off to the public. Through the fenc=
e we could see marsh marigold and white trilliums in bloom.

   <br/>&#62; Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
