I made a visit to Peggy's Cove this morning. Not intended
to be a birding trip, and the weather was against it in any case, but
I couldn't help but notice how abundant Robins were. They were
everywhere, apparently feeding on the abundant Mountain Ash berries.
I must have seen at least a hundred in the course of the morning.
I did pull over at one spot in Hackett's Cove, where on
Covey Road a shrubby thicket along the shore was alive with a dozen
or more Song and White-throated Sparrows, at least thirty Robins,
some Starlings, and a few Black-capped Chickadees, all singing and
calling and flying about in the rain. I wondered if they had
recently arrived.
There were 5 or more Horned Grebes in Hackett's Cove, and
there were at least 12 Hooded Mergansers at Upper Tantallon.
By the way, I must apologize for apparently activating a
request that one of my previous emails should be acknowledged. I've
never done that before and I'm not sure how I did it!
Cheers,
Patricia L. Chalmers
