>
> MAY 16, 2013 - Today I checked 3 more local bald eagle nests for  
> occupancy and presence of eaglets:
>
> (a) Starr's Point, bank of mouth of Cornwallis River, on private  
> land owned by Seaview? Poultry (Chris Cox) -- one adult eagle in  
> nest, but no visible eaglets.
>
> (b) Lower Canard, s. of Canard Rd., about a km. east of Jawbone  
> Corner -- one adult eagle in nest, but no eaglets visible.
>
> (c) KenWo Golf Course, New Minas, along 14th hole fairway -- again  
> no sign of any occupancy by eagles (true also in 2012 & 2011?).

>> Deficit Disorder), gathered in evening in Bernard Forsythe's yard  
>> on Wolfville Ridge, to observe Bernard banding the two barred  
>> owlet nestlings still in the nest-box.  Bernard currently is  
>> monitoring 14 local occupied barred owl nest-boxes, and later he  
>> will report how many young owls he bands in 2013.
>>
>> Regarding barred owls, when I congratulated Bernard about his  
>> award from CWF for Outdoorsman of the Year (very well deserved, of  
>> course), he told me about an incident on May 11 during his  
>> Migration Count:  He did a very long walk along the gated road  
>> into Methal's Lake (Reservoir), where he put up a barred owl nest- 
>> box 10 years ago, unoccupied for that whole time, and discovered  
>> inside it a barred owl with 3 eggs!
>>
>> Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
