This means of course the water is warmer in the Gulf of St Lawrence and points north and the ducks have left there yet. It will be interesting to see what happens after a few weeks of cold weather. Thanks for your reports - always interesting - growing up sea ducks were very important to us and I never lost interest.

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?
