Held on March 15/2008
There were 9 participants on this outing.
The sky was clouded over and at the end of the day it was snowing lighty.
Due this dark weather it was difficult to identify the ducks, but with the help of 4 telescopes and the expertise of Jim and Richard we were able to solve this problem.
In Saint John we stopped at Courtenay Bay, Deep Cove and Anse Marble Cove.
