DECEMBER 1, 2015 - On the northeast Grand Pre dykelands, I found a =
tractor ploughing the soil of a field and it was attended by 300++ =
gulls, which were a mixture of about half herring gulls, half =
ring-billed gulls, and a handful of great black-backed gulls (less than =
10).
Concerning raptors, on a power-pole was a probable mated pair of =
adult red-tailed hawks. Also I saw a possible n. harrier, but it was =
distant and soaring high above the fields. Also I saw 2 separate bald =
eagles, a subadult and an immature, both sitting on the ground.
DEC. 2, 2015 - Both Canard Pond and Saxon St. Pond were ice-covered, =
with no water birds, but at the latter pond there were at least 17 bald =
eagles perched together in the trees along the west shore of the pond =
=97 this is a long-standing spot for variable numbers of bald eagles to =
perch socially for long periods during the day.
The ice on those two ponds did not discourage me from checking out =
Silver Lake at Lakeville, where there was a mostly sleeping flock of =
150+ Canada geese (no variants nor neck-collars) and, separately, a =
single male hooded merganser.
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
