--=====================_29168796==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed A sunny Sunday that commanded a morning outing. The westerlies overnight did not seem to occasion any coastal migrant fall-out, but at Duncan's Cove, near Halifax, I relocated previously reported rare birds: three Baltimore Orioles, a Clay-colored Sparrow, and an Indigo Bunting. Very few birds around, with the only other highlights being a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and two Gray Jays. There was a lot of activity on the ocean off Duncan's Reef -- dozens of Northern Gannets were diving, alongside spouting Minke Whales and cruising Harbour Porpoises. But nothing bettered the glorious colour of the coastal barrens (the gate to the lighthouse was open today. . .). Enjoy the autumn, Blake ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Maybank maybank@ns.sympatico.ca http://www.flickr.com/photos/blakemaybank/ 902-852-2077 Editor, "Nova Scotia Birds" http://nsbs.chebucto.org Organiser, Maritimes Nature Travel Club http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel author, "Birding Sites of Nova Scotia" http://tinyurl.com/birdingns Downloadable Nova Scotia Maps for inside front and back covers: http://tinyurl.com/mr627d White's Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada --=====================_29168796==.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <html> <body> A sunny Sunday that commanded a morning outing.
