The observations from the New Brunswick side showed that not all the scoters flew across the bridge once they reached it: on 14 of the 28 days when scoters were seen from New Brunswick (50% of the observations), birds were seen to fly over the bridge (see Table 5). Of the total numbers seen reaching the bridge on those days, between and of the birds recorded actually crossed over Confederation Bri
. The Canadian field-naturalist. Natural history. 438 The Canadian Field-Naturalist Vol. 115. Figure 2. Location of the Confederation Bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The observations from the New Brunswick side showed that not all the scoters flew across the bridge once they reached it: on 14 of the 28 days when scoters were seen from New Brunswick (50% of the observations), birds were seen to fly over the bridge (see Table 5). Of the total numbers seen reaching the bridge on those days, between and of the birds recorded actually crossed over Confederation Bridge (Table 5). Overall, only 22% of all scoters seen from New Brunswick dur- ing autumn, flew over Confederation Bridge. The remainder either turned away from the bridge or flew high, parallel to it towards Prince Edward Island, until they were lost from view by the New Brunswick observer. On the Prince Edward Island side, once scoters were seen, they were observed to fly over the bridge. However, we were unable to determine whether the two observers actually watched the same birds or if some of those birds flying high from New Brunswick were ever seen on the Prince Edward Island side because of the great heights they reached. From the Prince Edward Island side, observations were not begun until late in the migration period when maximum numbers were already being record- ed in New Brunswick. From. 17 October to 18 November, a total of 814 scoters were seen from Cape Jourimain (see Table 5). At Borden, from 17 October to 26 November, 475 birds ( of the New Brunswick total) were sighted (Table 6)..
