Chris, Should the report for Martinique B. also include the Buffleheads & the Northern Harrier (but maybe not the Savannah & Song Sparrows, if NS Birds reports aren't intended to be complete)?
We were wondering about the Harrier's diet. I checked a few sources, which suggest that the diet is dominated by small rodents and mammals, but also includes birds, reptiles, insects, and carrion.

Subject: [NatureNS] Today's Nova Scotia Bird Society field trip to Martinique Beach
All:
Ten of us set out on the NS Bird Society field trip to Martinique Beach this morning, and walked to the second point on Bayers Islands, now owned thankfully by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (and not really islands, as joined to the beach). We found some of the usual birds - including few Black & White-winged Scoters, a Great Blue Heron, 16 Sanderlings, about a dozen Dunlin, about 9 Ipswich Sparrows, and Piping Plovers were absent, but I hope pending, for the first time in many years on this trip. On the way back via the shore road (207) we added a few commonplace species.
The exhilarating walk was the best part of the day.
Cheers, Ian
Ian McLaren
