Bobolink Red-winged Blackbird Rusty Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird Baltimore Oriole By David Seeler Time of Observation: 09:30 — 11:15 Place of Observation: Saltwater marsh at the entrance road Brackley entrance to PEI National Park. Weather: The day was generally clear with light winds. The sun was mostly to my back allowing for front lighting of the subject affording excellent views over an extended period of time.

Habitat: Saltmarsh Distance from Bird: < 9 metres (30 feet) Equipment: 20 — 60 power Pentax 80mm ED Spotting Scope & Baush and Lomb Elite II Binoculars 8x42 Circumstances of Observation: While leaving the PEINP, Inoticed two groups of shorebirds which appeared 11
