Hi,

I had a nice little sea-watch at Cottage Cove and the road to Port George on
my way here to Middleton this morning.

Location:     Port George
Observation date:     12/2/10
Number of species:     17
Common Eider     40
Harlequin Duck     15 - all in a group, 10 ad. M and 5 F.
Surf Scoter     50
White-winged Scoter     50
Long-tailed Duck     4
Red-breasted Merganser     1
Red-throated Loon     3
Common Loon     5
Horned Grebe     1
Red-necked Grebe     3
Purple Sandpiper     3 - flew by then turned in towards the wharf where I
lost them.
Black-legged Kittiwake     3
Herring Gull     20
Great Black-backed Gull     5
Thick-billed Murre     8 - Mourning Dove     2
American Crow     10

The Murres were in 2 small flocks, including a couple swimming on the water.
I noticed several flying by at Parker's Cove further down the Bay 3 days
ago. They, + the Kittiwaakes, were only visible with a scope. All the
seabirds except the Harlequins were at Cottage Cove, and the Harlequins were
farther towards Port George. I suspect that there are large numbers of all
this stuff right down the Fundy coast from Margaretsville to Brier Island,
if there are people there to look!
