Hi,

I did my usual Thursday slow drive along the shore at Port George this
morning - tide was high, weather windy and wet. But for the 2nd time
this Fall/ Winter there were just a handful of W-W Scoter and Common
Eider, a single Long-tailed Duck, and 3 Red-necked and 1 Horned grebe.
No Harlequins. 1 Common and 2 Red-throated loons. Just a few years ago
the same drive would have guaranteed much, much larger numbers of all
the common sea ducks, loons, grebes etc. Is it just me, is it just the
mid-Fundy shore, or is this a more generalised phenomenon?

Richard
