Introductory Posting
Greetings foes, friends and others. The islands of Hertford and Ciboux are the component islands of the Bird Islands Wildlife Management Area. They are located approximately 4-5 kilometres from Cape Dauphin, Victoria County, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, North America, Earth. The Bird Islands are located at 46.376°N, 60.384°W, with an altitude of 0 - 20 metres and a total area of 10.89 square kilometres. Hertford Island is approximately 1.1 kilometres long an 120 metres wide, while Ciboux Island is approximately 1.6 kilometres long and 120 metres wide.
The Bird Islands have the largest colony of Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) in North America. The Bird Islands also have the greatest concentrations of Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), Razorbills (Alca torda) and Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) within the province of Nova Scotia. They also have many other bird species including Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus), Black Guillemots (Cepphus grylle), Leach's Storm Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous), Spotted Sandpipers (Actitis macularius), Cliff Swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota), Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus), Greater Black-backed Gulls (Larus marinus), Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias), and Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as well as animals which are not birds such as the Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus). The flora consists of shrubs as well as areas of grass and other forbs.
Hertford Island is currently owned by the Nova Scotia Nature Trust (previously by the Nova Scotia Bird Society), while Ciboux Island is owned by the province of Nova Scotia and the federal government of Canada. The name Ciboux is from the word Cibou, from the Mi’kmaq sipu, meaning river. The name Hertford is most likely named after one of the many other places, people and other things named Hertford.
The blog is not legally the official blog for either of the islands of Hertford or Ciboux.

I love that Spotted Sandpipers don’t just pass through here in the spring fall, but actually breed here. That allows lazy birders like me to take my time in going to look for them

A Shorebird Feathursday
This week we return to a book from our Historical Curriculum Collection for a few birds of the shore from Birds in Their Homes, a book for young people written by Addison Webb with lovely illustrations by Sabra Mallett Kimball, published in 1947 by Garden City Books in New York. It’s unfortunate that we can’t seem to find any information on either the author or the artist, but we’re pretty impressed by Kimball’s delightful renderings. If anyone has any information on Webb or Kimball, we’d appreciate if you would let us know.
Shown here are:
Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) Spotted Sandpiper (Actitis macularius) Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)

Spotted Sandpiper
An extended dry spell has caused the water in many Iowa ponds and lakes to recede from their shorelines. The Spotted Sandpipers (Actitis macularius) are taking advantage of these muddy areas to find an easy meal of small crustaceans.
