Yesterday I got to Port George on the Bay of Fundy for about half an hour,
and saw a grand total of 1 M.Harlequin, a pair of R-B Mergansers and 1
Common Loon. On other occasions this winter I have seen a smattering of
Eiders, a few Scoters, and the odd Loon and Grebe. Even 5 years ago there
would have regularly been flocks of Eiders and Scoters, up to 20
Harlequins, and much larger numbers of Loons, Grebes etc. Is this a general
phenomenon, or just on the Bay of Fundy, or is it just that I'm perpetually
unlucky these days? And if this is real, any ideas why?
