Anne and I have been part of the NS Bird Society's out-of town meeting  
in the Cape North, CBI area, very ably led by Patrick Kelly, Fritz  
McEvoy and Becky Stewart.

For us the highlights on Saturday (June 9) included pre-dawn and  
post-sunset forays atop Cape North, where singing Bicknell's Thrushes,  
a host of warblers and other boreal passerines, and an after-dark  
chorus of coyotes were memorable.

We also enjoyed seeing Piping Plover on nearby beaches, a 3rd-winter  
Lesser Black-backed Gull at the S end of South Bay beach, the seabird  
colony at White Point, and, with much of the group, a long-staying  
Black Vulture at the dump just S of Cape North village.

No doubt others will report on other aspects of the trip and on  
observations today ((Sunday).
