FEBRUARY 28, 2017 - I didn=92t get out to Grand Pre to investigate until = this afternoon, but I quickly found 900+ Canada Geese along the main = drainage canal next to the main road on west Long Island, a bit east of = where the Leungs live. The Bald Eagle nest at the Leungs=92 house had both adult eagles = present, as was the case at a few other eagle nests examined today. On the spur of the moment, I decided to drive out to the Canning area to = look for more geese =97 600+ Canada Geese were in the Canning Aboiteau = area (mouth of the Habitant River) as the tide was approaching high in = early afternoon. And Mark Elderkin was there photographing the = spring-like gorgeous wind-free and sunny day. The new Bald Eagle nest just west of Grand Pre Park had two eagle adults = perched there, and I could clearly see the size difference of the large = female vs. smaller male. On my way back to Wolfville, I checked the Eye Road Bald Eagle nest, = where there were two adult eagles. I saw no eagles at the Greenwich site (n. of Noggins Farm Market); but = this was no surprise, since that pair of eagles probably built the new = nest last year that is along the Rail Trail close to the Poor Farm = Cemetery =97 that site is not yet accessible via the Rail Trail, but of = course it is accessible to the eagles. I drove to the Lower Church Street Bald Eagle nest =97 no eagles were = present, but it was obvious that this pair of adults had done a lot of = restoration work over the past few days =97 the nest looks quite = respectable and usable again now. Next eagle stop was the nest along Lower Canard Road =97 an adult eagle, = probably the female, was at the nest, and her probable mate was perched = close to the farmhouse north of the road where I always view the nest. Yesterday I noticed Ravens at the long-used nest just north of the = Acadia Arena, and then today in Canning I saw a Raven carrying a long = stick just north of the old nest-site in a now nestless pine tree close = to the house of Glenys Gibson & Ian Paterson.
