Possible Minke Whale

Christine reports...
Tonight at Lavena's Catch Cafe I chatted with Craig Theriault, who is a lobster fisherman in the winter, and the captain for Petite Passage Whale Watch in the summer. He said today he saw a whale breaching in the Bay of Fundy off Flour Cove, Long Island, (Digby County). He thought it was a Minke.

Signs of Spring

Hi Everyone
Today was sunny with a bit of fog. Went for a hike to pond cove and sighted lots of Black Ducks gathering at Big Pond and Little Pond, Green-winged teal, 2 pairs of Canada Geese and about 100 Brant in the cove, lots of Song Sparrows singing, Savannah Sparrows, and some Black-capped Chickadees. Also heard Spring Peepers today! At Western Light i sighted a Mourning Cloak butterfly, Lots of Robins at the Picnic field, and some Sedum peeking up through the basalt rocks, eider ducks, and found lots of quartz in the cove near Western Light.

Field of Robins

While walking to Northern Light I noticed a field of Robins at the Brier Island lodge. There was about 72, spring is here!

Spring Peepers

Laura Titus reports...
The spring peepers are now out on Brier Island. They were heard about two weeks ago in Freeport. Spring is my favourite time of year and I just love the nighttime chorus of the peepers, followed by the dawn commencing with the songs of many birds :o)
