Hi all, On Saturday's count, we dipped on the Eurasian Wigeons, Pine Warblers, and Purple Sandpipers that we'd hoped for, but still saw plenty that others might like to see: - dark-phase Rough-legged Hawk near the surf shop just before Lawrencetown Beach; was near the road there all day - 8 Sanderling, 6 Dunlin, 1 Glaucous Gull, 60 Snow Buntings, 12 Horned Larks, and an Ipswich Sparrow on Conrads Beach, the latter three spp all along the west part of the beach; the Glaucous Gull was a 2nd phase bird only seen near dawn (dog chased it off) - a Snowy Owl west of the boardwalk at Conrads, there all day - Belted Kingfisher (and an otter) near the parking lot, Conrads - a Common Grackle along nearby sidestreets (sorry I didn't retrieve the exact location from the observer, Cindy Staicer) Off the end of W Lawrencetown Road and/or off the west end of Conrad Beach was an unidentified seaduck, possibly a Harlequin; fog and swells prevented a positive i.d. (at least that's my excuse). Cheers, Andy Horn Halifax
