white letters was banded in Escuminac Beach NB July 18 as a chick. It =
had been fitted with a temporary nanotag transmitter but I saw no =
evidence it was still present.=20

There are what probably are a couple thousand Northern Gannets last few =
days in the Northumberland Strait off the Caribou lighthouse. Gray Seals =
and Herring also abundant!

At Big I today I saw a dead Minke? Whale ( it was a small baleen whale) =
on the Strait side of the causeway to the island.( rocks marked with red =
ribbon). Ann Doull indicated the whale was first seen evening of Sept =
13.  Also saw a dead star-nosed mole on Doris Mason lane. (yes the =
singer).=20

Passerines were not overly abundant but I did see and photograph and =
empid that looks like a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher to my eye.  Had my =
first Big I fall Dunlin (4) today. Had 1 yesterday afternoon at Gull . =
