Hi all:
The field trip for the Nova Scotia Bird Society that I led on March 30=2C f=
rom Port Clyde=2C Blanche Peninsula and to Bacarro was a success. Fourteen=
participants enjoyed a nice day and when all was said and done we had roug=
hly 43 species. At Port Clyde some of us heard our first wood frogs for th=
e season. I heard a spring peeper far out on the Blanche Peninsula and the=
Clarences saw a question mark butterfly. There appeared to be a movement =
of turkey vultures. We saw two at Port Clyde. Sandy Hiltz reported to us =
that three had been there. Out along the Blanche Peninsula three more of t=
hese birds were observed. The Clarences who continued on to Barrington and=
Cape Sable Island saw six more. I had another near the Liverpool exit whe=
n heading back towards Bridgewater. That would make thirteen turkey vultur=
es total.Of interest were about 81 or so red-necked grebes. It should be n=
oted that it was very hard to show people the waterfowl present. I've neve=
r seen them so skittish. The moment we approached no mater how far away we=
were or what species was present these birds flew right away. =20
A list of species observed on the trip were:
1. American Crow 2. Common Raven 3. European Starling 4. Hairy Woo=
dpecker 5. White-throated Sparrow 6. Blue Jay 7. American Black Duck =

is what was seen rather than American Wigeon=2C but only a few people saw =
the bird before it flew away. 22. Ring-billed Gull23. Bald Eagle24. Sha=
