I had a good = look at it but my camera was in the car because I thought I wouldn't see = anything anyway! While enjoying my coffee at Duncan Reef three Snow = Buntings landed behind me, announcing their presence with their musical = call notes. When I stood up to leave they were no more than 20 feet away = from where I was sitting, so off they flew. There is an island at the entrance to Duncan's Cove that has no name = that I can find. I've got the Sambro 50,000:1 topographical and it gives = no name for the island. My next step is to buy the marine chart for the = area but I can be saved this expense if someone knows the formal, not = folk, name of the island. Meanwhile, I will call it Eagle Island for = sake of brevity since a pair of adult Bald Eagles often sit there, like = today, discouraging the usual horde of sea bird tenants.=20 PS: While I was away Laura saw a fawn in our back yard in Portuguese = Cove. It's of interest because it was still spotted.
