MAY 6/20 =97 Three items reportable today:

(a) ANOTHER NEW BALD EAGLE NEST at Hortonville =97 this one is in a =
deciduous tree about one kilometre or more east of Just Us! Coffee along =
an unnamed paved road that goes to the mouth of the Gaspereau River.  =
Thus there are at least three new nests in the small area from =
Hortonville (2 nests) to North Grand Pre, West Long Island.  An adult =
female? eagle was on the nest.  I measured the curved road distance from =
Just Us! at 1.5 km.

(b) I checked the b. eagle nest north of Avonport along the Oak Island =
Road =97 the adult female eagle was on the nest rim, and twice I saw =
some movement in the nest, almost certainly extended wing-tips from an =
EAGLET.  Lately I=92ve been guessing that some of the eagle nests =
locally will have seen some hatching of eaglets since about May 1st or =
earlier?

(c) Highway 101 at Hortonville crosses the Gaspereau River, and just =
north of there I always look for cormorants on the power-line that =
crosses the river =97 today there were 13 adult double-crested =
cormorants perched there, and a 14th cormorant flying along the river.

(d) I checked the other new bald eagle nest at Hortonville, in the line =
of poplars not far west of the Planters Monument.  The female eagle was =
on the nest rim and acted as if she was possibly feeding something in =
the nest-cup, perhaps another eaglet?

(e) I checked the b. eagle nest at Wolfville=92s Anglican Church, and as =
usual the female was on the nest in incubation or brooding position.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville=
