Hello all=2C
On Good Friday afternoon=2C April 18=2C I was surprised to see six Brant fe=
eding where a small stream flows into the Bay in front of the recreation ce=
ntre in Port George. The tide was high=2C and so they were on the rocks at=
the water's edge=2C and no other birds could be found except about 8 Herri=
ng Gulls=2C and=2C in the water near shore=2C a male Red-breasted Merganser=
. Unfortunately=2C I did not continue as far as the Cottage Cove wharf=2C =
or I might have seen the Harlequins that Larry got the next day. These wer=
e my first Brant for Annapolis Co.=2C and an encouraging sign=2C although I=
can remember when they were regular in the Grand Pr=E9 area. The only oth=
er migrants that I saw at Port George that day were two Northern Flickers o=
n lawns nearby. One-two pairs of Hooded Mergansers have been at the pond o=
f the Andrews Brook Bog just west of Margaretsville the last two times I wa=
s there (first on April 13).
My apologies for the late report=2C but Microsoft seems to be intent on ali=
enating Hotmail users by putting up new stumbling blocks for us every week.=
I just got back into this=2C and am told that I will have to jump through=
more hoops in the next 4 days in order to continue to use it.
Usually migrants are later along the south edge of the Valley and the South=
Mountain than in the rest of it or along the coast (e.g.=2C my first grack=
le here was 13 April)=2C so that is not too critical=2C but I see that the =
Eastern Phoebe that I had at the Fales River bridge in East Tremont on 10 A=
pril seems to have been ahead of the pack. It was a little surprising=2C b=
ut not as much so as the one that Mike Gemmell and I saw in the snow at his=
place in Wilmot on 1 January 2014!
Cheers=2C
Wayne Neily
Tremont=2C NS
(Ignore anything after this - my signature block=2C quotes=2C etc. are not =
coming up=2C so if they do they will be unedited.)
