Subject: [NatureNS] Grand Pre birds
Hey,
I finally got out birding a bit this afternoon down around the =
wolfville
sewage ponds, the dykes and grand pre. Saw the following birds: =
Savannah
Sparrow (4), Song Sparrow (8-10), Ring-dilled Gull (50), Great =
Black-backed
Gull (5), Herring Gull (30-40), Iceland Gull (20-30, especially at =
the
sewage ponds), Black-Headed Gull (1, at the sewage ponds), =
Red-tailed Hawk
(4-6), Rough-legged Hawk (1) and a Peregrine Falcon (adult). It was
definitelly nice to get out and some decent birds. That's the =
second
Black-headed Gull I have seen in the area this year, first was in =
late fall,
otherwise I believe they are quite rare in the annapolis valley, =
correct me
if I am wrong though. Back to studying.
Bird on,
Luke DeCicco
