Ducks, raptors, vultures

Hi Everyone
Had a chance to take a quick hike to pond cove and search the area for purple sandpipers. This time of the year i always do the purple sandpiper survey for Canada Wildlife Federation. It also documents any other shorebirds that may be in the area at that time. Alas there was no shorebirds today but lots of black ducks, 4 long tailed ducks, and eider ducks. I left pond cove and then headed towards Freeport where 9 Turkey Vultures were soaring overhead near the ferry dock. On my way up Digby Neck i sighted a mature bald eagle near mink cove.
