I did my monthly Beached Bird Survey today at Seaforth. A beautiful day for the 
beach. On the shore, there were two Bald Eagles 


sitting on the shore with a group of ravens, a flock of about 20 American 
Pipits, and a flock of about 30 Snow Buntings was a nice treat. On the water 
were a flock of 40-odd eiders, a black guillemot, and the regular assortment of 
gulls. 


I then checked out Causeway Road and Fishermen's Cove. The only bird of note 
there was a peep flying by at high speed, gone too fast for me to stop the car 
and bring up the binoculars, much less identify it, before it disappeared. 


Along the 207 there were many black ducks, 6 Green-winged Teal and 10 American 
Wigeon. There were also three cormorants, which I wasn't able to see well enough 
to identify to species.

On the Oldham Road in Enfield, there was a trio of Hooded Mergansers on a small 
wooded pond beside the road. Finally, I made a sudden stop to watch an adult 
Sharp-shinned Hawk flying low over the #2 in Elmsdale.
