Hello all,

Bruce Di Labio, Diane Whitman and myself went out to Beach 1 this
morning to watch the mixed species feeding frenzy that has been
developing to impressive proportions in Popham Bay (off shore from the
beach) in recent weeks.  We relocated the immature Black-legged
Kittiwake as well as one 2nd winter Little Gull, a Red-necked Grebe seen

among roughly 4000 Rb Mergansers, 1500 Bonaparte's, 1500 Herring Gull,
500 Rb Gull.

The fog today made it difficult to see the bulk of the birds and there
may be many more out of sight; certainly many more could be heard
calling in the fog.

On Gull Island there were two Snowy Owls, 2 B-b Plover and one American
Golden Plover.

Cheers,

Doug McRae

Directions:  Take the Brighton exit from Hwy. 401 and follow south into
town.  Once in Brighton, follow the park signs to Presqu'ile.
