Hi all,
Further to Eric's account, Rick Whitman's and I stayed an extra day. Becky =
gave an excellent talk on the Bicknell's thrush on Sat. Night. Yesterday wa=
s damp and foggy, but we enjoyed more upland birds including Pine grosbeak,=
some great scenery and another Moose. This morning we did the Bird Islands=
tour in beautiful weather, and had stunning looks at the resident alcids i=
ncluding a Common murre, and the other breeding seabirds. I got the impress=
ion that numbers were down compared to last year, and was told that the loc=
al Bald eagles are predating the seabirds there.

<br>
For us the highlights on Saturday (June 9) included pre-dawn and <br>
post-sunset forays atop Cape North, where singing Bicknell's Thrushes, <br>
a host of warblers and other boreal passerines, and an after-dark <br>
chorus of coyotes were memorable.<br>
<br>
We also enjoyed seeing Piping Plover on nearby beaches, a 3rd-winter <br>
Lesser Black-backed Gull at the S end of South Bay beach, the seabird <br>
colony at White Point, and, with much of the group, a long-staying <br>
Black Vulture at the dump just S of Cape North village.<br>
<br>
No doubt others will report on other aspects of the trip and on <br>
observations today ((Sunday).<br>
