Pat Gladman and I did our beaches today for the Maritime Beached Bird surve=
ys. Of note at Princes's Inlet Drive were three red-throated loons and an =
additional two off of Westhaver Beach.
=20
Other birds of note: =20
=20
Long-tailed Duck 3 off of Mader's Cove. I think this is a little early for=
this species. The experts can correct me if I'm wrong.
=20
Shellfish notation: I found a scallop=2C a full one with the mussel intact=
on Westhaver Beach. I suspect that it was swept in with the last storm an=
d therefore there must be a scallop bed somewhere out off of the beach at t=
he mouth to Mahone Bay.
=20
Razor Clam shells off of Westhaver Beach and also off of Bachman's Beach=2C=
therefore there must be goodly numbers of that species there.
=20
Codium in good numbers off of Bachman's Beach. This is the invasive seawee=
d.
=20
Back to the birds=2C 39 hooded mergansers off Second Peninsula. Eleven red=
-breasted mergansers. They must be starting to return as I've not found an=
y other than one or two for a long time.
=20
A Great Blue Heron off Second Peninsula. Notable as there are few around t=
his area now and this was a juvenile bird. It still had the fuzzy juvenile=
plumage along the bottomside and noticeable also in the head area.
