Thanks for the 'heads up' Jim,
I visited the Canard pond this morning.
Saw the pair of gadwall , 3 pairs pintail, 2 male ring-necked =
ducks,Common mergansers 1 m and 5 f., and a flock of 30 green-winged =
teal arrived , also a couple of eagles.

  MARCH 29, 2011 - Canning Aboiteau: only 26 Canada geese visible along =
the river, but no search done further toward town -- no snow goose seen =
-- 3 common mergansers together in river (2m,1f).


  Canard Pond (now about half open): 1 drake gadwall, 2 n. pintails (m,f =
pr), 1 female or immature common merganser resting on ice.


  Other ponds opening up very gradually, some still completely iced.


  I checked the bald eagle nest south of Stirling's Farm Market in =
Greenwich: definitely a white head of an adult eagle on/in the nest.  =
This nest is quite distant from Hwy. 1, but the west side of the =
Stirling's greenhouse behind the market lines up closely (southward) for =
where to look, and a spotting scope is really necessary.  Aim at some =
dead deciduous trees and look behind them in the pines, and try to =
notice the white eagle head.


  I also looked again at the Noggins Farm Market bald eagle nest, and =
there is no sign of any eagles there or nearby.


  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
