Early this morning, Charlie Kendell and I discovered an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull on the ice in the East R. of Pictou upstream form the George St. 
bridge in New Glasgow. There were 10 Hooded Mergansers down-stream from the bridge. 
At the outflow area of the NS Power Plant in Trenton, there was a large concentration of mixed waterfowl (there was nothing there on the CBC). We noted 
7 Green-winged Teal, 1 Gadwall, and 4 Am Wigeon with the group. At a Hillside feeder we saw a bright Pine Warbler with a second warbler likely a dull
 fem, Pine. It was mostly gray, with just a hint of wing bars, but I think a Pine. It disappeared before I could obtain a photo. There was also a White-breasted Nuthatch and Downy Woodpecker and Goldfinches at this feeder. There were 2 more Hooded Mergansers at Hillside and another 3-4 at the sewage treatment plant. 
Unfortunately, the snow was too heavy to continue, but in a couple of hours we tallies 37 species despite the heavy snow. No doubt more species would be dissected
out in nicer conditions. 
I had missed the Pine Warblers, Less Black-backed Gull and Gadwall on the CBC  Jan. 1. 
cheers
ken
