It was blustery in the banana belt today, as well, with temperatures
starting at -8oC and rising to -3oC, and plenty of northerly breeze most of
the time.

 

Mel Pothier and I did the eastern side of Yarmouth harbour, from the
northern tip, and ran down to Chebogue Point.  Of particular interest might
be

 

(a)    A House sparrow (They used to be so common!) skulking with a flock of
house finches (which now seem  to be commonplace in winter along Water
Street) in a clump of Japanese knotweed, in town. 

(b)   A large "V" of Canada geese cruising over Water street included an
unmistakable snow goose.

(c)    As the light started to fade on Chebogue Point the sound of a raven
with a sore throat issued from near Jim Trefry's farm.  What flew by wasn't
a raven, though.  Turned out to be a sandhill crane.  Nice way to end the
count.
