On this field trip there were 11 people=2C with my myself included in that =
number. We had good weather=2C with fog at first=2C but by the afternoon=
=2C things cleared off and the temperatures went up to plus 10. In all we =
saw 43 pecies. Before the outing Alex d'Entremont had a pileated woodpecke=
r=2C which I did not include on the list and we saw and others also saw a r=
ed-tailed hawk on the trip home=2C which was not seen during the outing. H=
ighlights of the trip were a ruffed grouse at Port Clyde=2C two northern ha=
rriers=2C one at Port Clyde and the other at the Blanche Peninsula=2C and t=
hree brant at the end of the Blanche Peninsula at Sylvia's Cove. Sizeable=
numbers of birds were seen at most stops. At Port L'Tour we had 88 greate=
r scaup and one lesser scaup. Bacarro produced a very co-operative snowy o=
wn=2C a peregrine falcon=2C a great blue heron and large numbers of waterfo=
wl. One unknown alcid was spotted=2C maybe a razorbill or murre. I did no=
t include this in the count total. A male and female harlequin duck were b=
y the Bacarro lighthouse and an astounding 493 black scoters. I probably m=
issed some in this count as they were constantly diving. There were also a=
t least 18 yellow-rumped warblers at Bacarro. =20
