Bay of Fundy near low tide
In the morning, we traveled to the cliffs at Hopewell Cape on the Bay of Fundy. The difference between low and high tide there is around 50 feet. We were there near low tide, and stopped there later in the day closer to high tide. The only birds I saw there were a few Dark-eyed Juncos, American Robins, and Rock Pigeons. During migration in August, thousands of shore birds make a stop there.

We stopped in Alma for lunch before returning to Moncton. As we were entering the restaurant, I noticed a Barn Swallow and it nest above the door. During lunch, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird came to a feeder, and I got a photo through the window.

We had a little time after lunch before getting back on the bus, and I saw a Bald Eagle in the distance. This was the fifth Bald Eagle I had seen on the tour, but the first one when we were not riding on the tour bus.

On the way back to Moncton, I got a photo of a gull while riding on the bus that turned out to be a Ring-billed.

After returning to Moncton, a few of us walked along the river. I saw several avian species, including another Common Yellowthroat, a Yellow Warbler, Savannah and Song Sparrows, American Goldfinches, and Red-winged Blackbirds. I was told that there was a Peregrine Falcon on a building near the hotel, but did not see it until the next day.
