Grand Manan

Bob Flood, doing his contingency mail run between Black's Harbour and Grand Manaan, invited me along for some quick birding. We were just a bit too early for many new migrants, but it was still a good trip. A total of 33 species, including Harlequin Duck, Peregrine Falcon, many Kestrels, Merlin, Horned Grebe and a Winter Wren.
