Eastern Shore
Petpeswick to Fishermen's Reserve (Three Fathom Harbour)

1 Grey Jay perching on a rock  accompanied by two juncos
1 Ruffed grouse running across the road like a pheasant
300's  Northern Gannets
2 Greater Yellow legs
2 Palm warblers wagging their tails
1 swamp sparrow
1 Yellow rumped warbler (spring)
1 red breasted nuthatch
-- and many other usual birds and recent arrivals like ospreys, flickers, 
ring necked ducks

The odd thing was the absence of swallows anywhere.

Found adult Northern Gannets  streaming northwards, mostly in small groups . 
Fascinating to watch them.  A few came close allowing me to see its black 
tips.

A really good birding day.

Cheers
Liz
