Whale spouts, shorebirds and raptors....

What a lovely day although still a bit on the cool side. To nice to stay inside so i took a hike with a friend to goosberry cove and followed the shoreline until we reached Northern Light. Of course i am always scanning for whale spouts on the horizon and low and behold near seal cove we sighted two spouts in the rip. Must of been some feed in this area because the whales appeared to not be diving deep or fluking up. By the looks of the spouts i would say it was a mother and calf humpback pair. Also lots of Adult Northern Gannets flying by as we watched these two whales. I then took a hike to pond cove and headed towards the beach. The tide was low but on its way in and although the wind was a bit chilly it was a nice clear day. The first thing i heard when i stepped on the beach was the seals moaning on the rock bar. It sounded like a group of ghosts! As i walked across the sand i came across some shorebirds feeding. I sighted 10 Sanderlings, 1 Dunlin, and 2 Semi-palmated sandpipers. As i wondered up to the outlet and into big pond 20 American Pipits ,24 Crows flew in the air along with 2 Imm. Bald Eagles. The eagles landed on the top of a tree and had a stare down. After 5 minutes one of them flew up into the air and glided towards the back of the pond and coming towards me was 24 Black Ducks and 9 Turkey Vultures. 3 Pheaseants flew up into the air as i was walking towards the dune area and startled me. As i drove back to my house a flock of 60 Robins flew over my house along with many Common Grackles. Dark-eyed Juncos were everywhere along the roadsides.
