Noon

MAR. 4, 2016 - Beautiful sunny day with quite light winds and near-zero C.
temperature.  Over the noon hour I drove around the Grand Pre area while
listening to Maritime Noon on CBC Radio.

 

I saw bald eagles everywhere, soaring in the sky, sitting on the dykeland
fields, and at two nests - two adults were at both the West Long Island nest
at Jean Leung's house and the Eye Road nest that is just east of the
Wolfville town limits and south of Hwy. 1.  I saw two groups of about 10 +
10 eagles in two places: just east of the north-south paved road across the
dykeland, and also in trees along the former railroad tracks at Hortonville
just west from the Curry farm.

 

Also seen were two red-tailed hawks perched together in a tree on Long
Island.

 

I also found one small flock of about 10 horned larks.

 

At the Acadia Arena I saw two more soaring adult bald eagles, unsurprisingly
harassed by several ravens.

 

After the Maritime Noon call-in, there was a short item on Nova Scotia
cougars.  We were told that some testing has been done on some hairs
collected (when?) in Kejimkujik Nat. Park: two tests done showed conflicting
results, one positive and one negative for cougar.  Thus a third test is now
being conducted, and results are expected by the end of this month.  Norma
Lee MacLeod said that the radio show would keep us informed on this.  Then
they played a few recent? calls claiming definite sightings of N.S. cougars,
one or two of them not far from Keji' Park, another from New Brunswick, and
??

 

Later today check  <http://cbc.ca/maritimenoon/> MailScanner warning:
numerical links are often malicious: cbc.ca/maritimenoon/ and listen to
today's program.
