[ValleyNature] Brier Island Birding

[Bernice Naylor]

Thursday, Friday and part of Saturday spent on Brier I. - weather lovely, if a bit windy.

Seen:  merlins, harrier (at West Light), red-shouldered hawk (on road from West Light).
            eastern kingbirds 7 + at West Light and again the next day on way to Peajack Cove (same ones?)
            tri-coloured heron at Big Pond
            turkey vultures, song sparrows, many eiders, pair of Canada Geese, bluejays
            yellow warblers, blackburnians (males), common yellowthroat
            
No seals at Seal Cove but one dead one on rocky beach at  Pond Cove.  Looked at first as if it was just basking - no sign of deterioation yet.

Nice to be there when there is no fog.

Bernice and Bill Naylor
