Hi Everyone:

I made my presentation to the Cape Breton Naturalists on Wednesday to a packed 
house of around 50+.  I think it went well-those who were there can chime in.

On Friday, Nick and I went birding with the Murrants and despite it being a bit 
slow, we did find 28 species:

Location:  Gabarus Highway:  6 Grey Jays, 1 BC Chickadee, American Crows, 
Starlings, 1 Pileated Woodpecker (lifer) and Mourning Doves.

Marion Bridge:10 American Black Ducks

Gabarus:50+Red Breasted Mergansers, 50+Greater and Lesser Scaups, 30+Common 
Goldeneyes, 10+Common Loons, BB Gulls, Herring Gulls, 2 Black Guillmots, 30+ B 
Waxwings, Starlings, 6+ Snow Buntings, 6 Surf Scoters, 6 WW Scoters, one Black 
Scoter, American Black Ducks, American Crows, Rock Doves, 20+ Common Mergansers, 
2 White Winged Crossbills, 1 Blue Jay.

Point Michaud-10+ WW Scoters, 10+Common Eiders, Herring Gulls, BB Gulls, 3 BH 
Gulls, 20+ Canada Geese, 1 Bald Eagle,  and 1 Northern Shrike.

On Saturday-we drove to the Northside (Oak Farm Road) where we met up with Mr. 
Wayne Gouthro, the fella who feeds the eagles.  Mr. Gouthro was feeding and we 
took a few pictures of 10+ Eagles, BB Gulls, Herring Gulls, 1 Iceland Gull 
(Kulmien ssp), 1 Glaucous Gull plus American Crows, Ravens and 1 American Robin. 
 Apparently there will be a story about Mr. Gouthro and the feeding of the 
Eagles in Saltscapes magazine soon.  He tells us that he has at least 16 Eagles 
coming regularly and recognize him.  We can attest to this because as soon as 
his truck came down the driveway the Eagles flew out of the trees and onto the 
ice.

Englishtown: spotted one RB Merganser,  2 American Black Ducks plus 2 Bald 
Eagles.

West Bay Road-6 American Black Ducks and Herring Gulls.  

Port Hawskbury: 1 Black-headed Gull, 6 Glaucuous Gulls, 4 Iceland Gulls, BB 
Gulls, Herring Gulls, 6 Greater Scaups, 10+ American Black Ducks, 1 Common Loon, 
6 Common Goldeneyes.

At Big Island in Pictou-we saw 2 Bald Eagles, Herring Gulls.
