1.0 Introduction The following report and associated fieldwork have been completed by Bird Studies Canada under contract with the PEI Energy Corporation. The objective of this report is to provide a description of avian activity observed at East Point during fall and spring migration periods as well as during the breeding season. We also present additional background information on avian occurrences in the vicinity of the proposed site obtained through consultation with experts and local birdwatchers and examination of records from provincial listserves and publications from the Prince Edward Island Natural History Society. Observations by local birdwatchers suggest that East Point is of great importance to migrant landbirds, particularly during fall migration, when flocks of passerines such as winter finches, waxwings, Icterids and even Blue Jays and chickadees regularly reach several hundred birds each (Dwaine Oakley, pers. obs.). The site appears to be a landing for migrants from farther north and hosts species unique to PEI such as Blue-gray Gnatcatcher during fall migration (Dwaine Oakley, pers. obs.). It may also be a significant site for soaring and migrating raptors, since the following species are seen there on a regular basis: Osprey, Bald Eagle, Northern Harrier, Sharp-shinned Hawk, American Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon and Merlin (David Seeler and Dwaine Oakley, pers. obs.). Some of the raptors (e.g. Peregrine Falcon) may be attracted to the site in the fall by the large numbers of migrant landbirds (Dwaine Oakley pers. obs.).

1.1 Site location The original proposal for the East Point Wind Plant called for three turbine arrays in the area. The first array was to contain seven turbines situated on a ridge west of East Lake (array 1). The second (array 2) was farther inland, with three turbines located approximately 2.2 km to 3.3 km west of the lighthouse; and the third proposed array consisting of two turbines at Beaton Point, approximately 1.5 km north-west of the East Point lighthouse (array 3). All three proposed arrays were studied for bird activity during the fall migration surveys (September – October 2005). As a result of the findings of the fall survey, it was decided that all 10 turbines would be built in a single array to be located west of East Lake. This array is situated in approximately the same area as array 1 (Figure 2).

2.0 Methods

2.1 Bird surveys

2.1.1 Fall surveys In order to determine avian species composition and use of the area by migrating birds in fall, weekly surveys (spanning two days/week except when prohibited by weather) were conducted on the following dates in 2005:

- week 1: September 9 and 10 - week 2: September 14 and 15 - week 3: September 22 - week 4: September 28 and 29 - week 5: October 5 and 6 - week 6: October 12 and 13 - week 7: October 19 and 20 - week 8: October 28 and 29 - week 9: November 1 and 2

In total, eight locations were chosen for point counts (Figure 3). The point counts (squares with F symbols in Figure 3) were situated in agricultural fields, along hedgerows, at wooded edges, and near the shoreline in order to sample each type of habitat present in each of the 3 proposed turbine arrays. Two other point counts were located along Lighthouse Road and were chosen as controls. Also, the PEI Department of Environment, Energy and Forestry was interested in documenting migratory bird use of this area in fall. Point counts in the fall were conducted by Greg Campbell and Becky Whittam. All point counts were conducted once per week with the exception of lighthouse road points, which were conducted twice per week. The order of point counts was reversed during every visit to avoid visiting the same sites at the same times of day. At each point count location, the observer stopped and listened silently for 10 minutes, noting all birds seen or heard. Heights of flying birds were estimated and classed into one of four categories: 0 – at or below eye level; 1 – eye level to tree height; 2 – above tree height but still visible unaided by binoculars; 3 – at limit of unaided vision. A height of 2 includes the height of the blade sphere of modern large turbines, but also includes a great deal of airspace that would not fall within the turbine blade sphere. In addition to observations made during the 10 minute point count, every point count location except for the one at the lighthouse (F14, see Figure 3) had a transect line associated with it. Transects varied in length, from 250m to 1400m (Table 1). All birds detected while walking transects (usually while walking to the point count locations) were recorded.

For a list of all bird species observed during fall, spring and summer surveys, see Table 3. Their provincial status is listed under the S-rank system used by North American conservation data centres. Definitions of provincial ranks (s-ranks) are as follows: S1 Extremely rare, may be especially vulnerable to extirpation (typically 5 or fewer

occurrences or very few remaining individuals) S2 Rare, may be vulnerable to extirpation due to rarity or other factors (6 to 20

occurrences or few remaining individuals) S3 Uncommon, or found only in a restricted range, even if abundant at some

locations (21 to 100 occurrences) S4 Usually widespread, fairly common, and apparently secure with many

occurrences, but of longer-term concern (e.g., watch list) (100+ occurrences) S5 Widespread, abundant, and secure, under present conditions S#S# Numeric range rank: A range between two consecutive numeric ranks. Denotes

range of uncertainty about the exact rarity of the Element (e.g., S1S2) SA Accidental or casual, infrequent and far outside usual range. Includes species

recorded only once or twice, or at very great intervals SE Exotic, may be native in nearby regions Qualifiers (are usually added to the end of s-ranking; e.g., S5B= widespread during breeding): B Breeding (migratory species) N Non-breeding (winter) (migratory species) M Migration (migratory species)

2.1.2 Spring surveys Following consultation with Carl Brothers (project manager), it was decided that the point counts at array 3 (F11 and F12) would be dropped and extra counts added to array 1, where three new turbines were proposed to be located (for a total of 10 turbines). After surveying the site in early April, it was decided to conduct spring migration point counts at each of the new proposed turbine locations in array 1 (S01 – S10), as well as at the locations previously established for the fall migration surveys in array 2 (F08 and F09), and along the Lighthouse road (F13 and F14) (see Figure 4). Spring migration surveys were conducted on the following dates in 2006:

- week 1: April 27 and 28 - week 2: May 3 and 4 - week 3: May 10 and 11 - week 4: May 18 and 19 - week 5: May 25 and 26

Point counts in the spring were conducted by Greg Campbell. The point count protocol was the same as during the fall surveys. Transect data were not analyzed along the S01-S10 point counts, since the stops were only 250-300 m apart. Birds situated between point count locations were usually heard and sometimes seen (if in fields) from both point count stations.

2.1.3 Summer breeding surveys Summer breeding surveys were conducted by Greg Campbell and Becky Stewart at the same locations as the spring counts on three occasions in 2006:

- May 29 - June 20 and 21 - July 24 and 25

The protocol consisted of point counts with additional time spent at each location to determine highest level of breeding evidence, if appropriate. Breeding birds were classed according to the level of breeding evidence from the Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas (http://www.mba-aom.ca/english/mbbaguide.pdf). Breeding Evidence Classifications: Possible Breeding (POSS) H - adult bird seen in suitable habitat in breeding season S - singing male seen in suitable habitat in breeding season Probable Breeding (PROB) P - pair seen in suitable habitat in breeding season

D - observation of pair in breeding display or aggressive territorial interaction between two members of the same species T - permanent territory presumed through registration of territorial song, or the occurrence of an adult bird, at the same place, in breeding habitat, on at least two days a week or more apart, during its breeding season

Confirmed Breeding (CONF) CF - adult carrying food

FY - flightless or dependent young observed AE - adults leaving or entering nest site in circumstances indicating occupied nest For data analysis purposes, only the highest number of individuals and highest level of breeding evidence were used for each species for each stop. For example, if four Yellow Warblers were heard at S01 on the second visit, including one pair (PROB for breeding evidence), and six Yellow Warblers were heard on the third visit, with only singing males as the highest breeding evidence (POSS), the numbers for S02 would be six Yellow Warblers, with PROB as the highest breeding evidence.

2.2 Additional Research Records of observations at East Point were obtained from local birdwatchers, from the Natural History Society of Prince Edward Island’s Island Naturalist newsletter (dating back to fall 1999, issue # 154), from the PEI Birders listserve (hosted by the University of Prince Edward Island), and from a meeting held with local birdwatchers (Dwaine Oakley, Dan Kennedy, Fiep de Bie, and Ben Hotelling) in Orwell on 28 November 2005.

3.0 Results

3.1 Bird surveys

3.1.1 Fall surveys In total, 998 observations (of one or more individual birds) were recorded during the fall surveys, which consisted of 9492 birds of 74 species (Appendix 1). The species observed most often were American Crow (99 observations), Black-capped Chickadee (76), and Blue Jay (74). Bird species with the highest numbers of individuals counted were Common Eider (2744), Great Black-backed Gull (637), and Surf Scoter (593). The most numerous songbirds were Black-capped Chickadee (487), American Crow (310), and Blue Jay (304). These three species are all common during fall migration and are all resident landbirds in the province. Observations were classed as landbird, raptor, shorebird, waterbird and waterfowl (as per Kingsley and Whittam 2005). The landbird group had the highest number of observations, with 684, nearly 69% of the total (Table 2). However, the waterfowl group contained the highest number of birds recorded (3730). This is explained by the fact that nearly all waterbird observations were of large flocks of Common Eider and scoter species at the East Point lighthouse. These birds are observed almost daily in large flocks during fall migration. Our fall surveys indicated a greater number of birds using sites closer to the tip of East Point, with stops F09, F11, F12, and the control sites F13 and F14 all having more than 19 birds/count (Figure 5). Bird density decreased farther from the lighthouse. This supports observations made by various birdwatchers that migrating birds use the forested areas near East Point as a stopover site during fall migration. The two control sites, F13 and F14, are considered “hotspots” for fall migration (based on the observations of PEI birders) and thus point count sites with the same or more birds per count as the control sites should also be considered to be of great value to birds. Table 2: Number of observations and total number of individuals observed from each bird category during fall migration 2005.

Birds/count

Figure 5. Number of birds per point count and distance from each point count to the East Point Lighthouse. The red dashed line indicates the minimum average number of birds per point count for the two control sites (F13 and F14) which fall within an area that has typically been considered by PEI birders to be the best in the province for observing fall landbird migration. Rare Birds: Nine rare bird species (S-ranks S3 or lower) were recorded during the surveys. These include: Broad-winged Hawk (S1?B)- was observed once at F13. Despite the rarity of existing breeding evidence, the species has been known to frequent the East Point area during fall migration (reported on seven other occasions at East Point; see appendices 3 to 6 for other observations). This species is relatively common in NB (S5B) and NS (S4B). Red Crossbill (S2B)- observed in two locations, F02 and F13, on different dates. The species is found in coniferous forests where it is entirely dependant on seed cones for its food source. It is generally not migratory in the Maritimes, though it may wander greatly between years to find a good seed crop. Red Crossbills are rare throughout Maritimes (S2S3 in NB, S3S4 in NS). Gray Jay (S3)- observed on one occasion in fall flying across the lighthouse road at F14. Gray Jays are very common in boreal and sub-alpine forests. The stunted coastal forests at East Point are a likely breeding area, as the stunted, windblown trees are very similar to boreal habitat. Gray Jays are common in NB and NS (both S5).

Great Cormorant (S3B)- observed at F11 and F14. While considered rare provincially, Great Cormorants are relatively common at East Point due to the proximity to a breeding colony. This species usually breeds on cliff ledges or rocky islands. It is a common breeder in NS (S4B), but is only seen in NB during migration (S3M). Common Tern (S3B)- observed diving for fish on six occasions at F11, F12, and F14 throughout September. It often nests in large colonies, and is usually rare throughout its range, including NB and NS (S3B). Barn Swallow (S3B)- observed one flock of 11 birds flying over beach at F11 on 2 Novermber. Barn Swallows are common in both NB and NS (S5B in both provinces). Surf Scoter (S3N)- scoter rafts were observed almost weekly from F14. Though listed as rare during non-breeding season, Surf Scoters are known to occur frequently at East Point during fall. Non-breeders sometimes remain throughout the breeding season as well. This species is also commonly observed during migration in NB (S4M, S3N) and NS (S4M). White-winged Scoter (S3N)- though less frequently observed than Surf Scoter, this species was often seen from F14 mixed with Surf Scoter and Common Eider, though in smaller numbers. White-winged Scoters are common migrants in NB (S4M, S3N) and NS (S4M). Harlequin Duck (SAN)- observed on two occasions in the water near the East Point lighthouse. Though listed as accidental, Harlequin Ducks are frequently observed at East Point in fall and early winter (over 40 observations; see appendices 3 to 6). This species is listed by the Committee On the Status of Endangered Wildlife In Canada (COSEWIC) as a species of Special Concern (def.- wildlife species that may become a threatened or an endangered species because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats). The Harlequin Duck is also listed as Species of Special Concern by the Species at Risk Act (SARA). This species is extremely rare throughout the Maritimes (S1B, S1N in NB; S2N in NS). Table 3.

Robin (97 observations), American Crow (70), and Yellow-rumped Warbler (58). Species with the highest numbers of individuals counted were Common Eider (445), Northern Gannet (350), and American Robin (97). It should be noted that all eiders and gannets were seen on or over the water at the tip of East Point. In addition to American Robin, the other songbird species with the highest number of individuals were American Crow (112), Yellow-rumped Warbler (60), and Purple Finch (52). These four species are all common spring migrants and are all resident landbirds in the province. The landbird group had the greatest number of observations, with 708 (representing 93% of the total; Table 4), and also contained the greatest total number of birds recorded (879).

Figure 6. Number of birds per point count for spring survey sites. Control sites are F13 and F14. Rare Birds: Red-tailed Hawk (S2B)- observed once at S10 soaring near edge of wooded area to the south.

likely breeding area, as the stunted, windblown trees are very similar to boreal habitat. This species is common in NB and NS (S5). Great Cormorant (S3B)- observed three individuals flying over S02 on one occasion. Great Cormorants were twice observed flying around lighthouse point at F14, one flock of five and one of 17 birds. They are rare provincially, but relatively common at East Point due to proximity to a cormorant breeding colony. Usually breeds on cliff ledges or rocky islands. Common breeder in NS (S4B), but Great Cormorants are only seen in NB during migration (S3M). Surf Scoter (S3N)- observed once on the water near F14 in late April, possibly a non-breeding bird. Non-breeders (usually immature birds) sometimes remain throughout the breeding season as well. Surf Scoters are common only during migration in NB (S4M, S3N) and NS (S4M).

2.1.3 Breeding surveys Fifty-nine breeding bird species were detected during the breeding surveys (Table 5). Fifteen of these species are confirmed breeders, 14 are probable breeders, and 30 are possible breeders. The highest number of breeding species was at F09 (27). The lowest number of species was at S01 (13) (Table 5). Table 5. Numbers of breeding species detected at point count locations during summer breeding surveys.

3.2 Additional research

3.2.1 Island Naturalist The Island Naturalist archives from issues # 154 to 177 provided an additional 604 observations at East Point (Appendix 3), including many new species and unusual occurrences. Most of these species do not breed in PE, but pass through East Point during their fall migration. Among the more interesting observations was a flock of 600 Cliff Swallows that was seen during the second week of October 2004 by several local birdwatchers (Dwaine Oakley, Dan Kennedy). This species is ranked as SHB, which means that it historically bred in the province. They were originally observed on the evening of 6 October, and again in smaller groups foraging in the forest on the following morning. Other species reported in the Island Naturalist in large flocks (>100 birds) at East Point are American Robin, Black Scoter, Blue Jay, Bohemian Waxwing, Bonaparte’s Gull, Canada Goose, Common Eider, Common Merganser, Common Redpoll, Herring Gull, Long-tailed Duck, Northern Gannet, Pine Siskin, Sanderling, Surf Scoter, White-winged Crossbill, White-winged Scoter, and Wilson’s Storm Petrel.

3.2.2 Christmas Bird Count Across North America, more than 50,000 observers participate each year in this all-day census of early-winter bird populations. The results of their efforts are compiled into the longest running database in ornithology, representing over a century of data on trends of early-winter bird populations across the continent. The East Point Christmas Bird Count began in 2001. Results from the first four years are provided in Appendix 4. The Count has reported one Barrow’s Goldeneye (S2N) in three of the first four years. Black-backed Woodpecker (S3) was recorded in 2001 and again in 2004. Large numbers (>100) of American Black Duck, American Crow, American Robin, Black Scoter, Blue Jay, Bonaparte’s Gull, Canada Goose, Cedar Waxwing, Common Eider, Common Goldeneye, Common Merganser, European Starling, Great Black-backed Gull, Herring Gull, Iceland Gull, Long-tailed Duck, Snow Bunting, and White-winged Scoter have been reported most years. At least three Bald Eagles and one Northern Harrier have been observed every year. Red-tailed Hawks were seen in 2003 and 2004, and one Sharp-shinned Hawk was observed in 2004.

David Seeler is an associate professor at the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown, PE. He has been keeping records of his observations at East Point since 2000. From July 2000 to January 2005 he recorded 1052 of his observations, which are included in Appendix 5.

3.2.4 Dan Kennedy Dan Kennedy is currently Vice-President of the Natural History Society of Prince Edward Island. His records (Appendix 6) date back to November 2001. On 27 August 2002, he observed a large grouping (kettle) of migrating raptors numbering nearly 100 individuals, which he reported in the Island Naturalist (#163). Among the raptors observed that day were 11 Bald Eagles, 17 Northern Harriers, 10 Sharp-shinned Hawks, 6 Northern Goshawks, 8 Broad-winged Hawks, 14 Red-tailed Hawks, 16 American Kestrels and 6 Merlins.

4.0 Significance for wind plant development at East Point

It has been found that birds breeding in the area of wind turbines generally have lower collision rates than non-residents (Kingsley and Whittam 2005). This is likely because local birds become familiar with the turbines and avoid them, whereas individuals passing through the area would not be familiar with turbine sites. Only two rare species were found during breeding surveys at the East Point Wind Plant Project, a singing Bobolink (S3B) at S04 and a singing Pine Siskin (S2B) at S09. Of the species detected during breeding, the wind development would pose the greatest threat to Bobolinks, since they are relatively rare and also have aerial courtship displays. However, the overall risk to breeding birds appears to be relatively low. A higher risk of bird collision exists during the migration periods at East Point, particularly during the fall. Comparisons between spring and fall migration are not possible for all turbine locations, since some locations were changed following the fall surveys. Nevertheless, more birds were observed during the fall surveys than during the spring for the four locations surveyed during both seasons. Furthermore, evidence from other birdwatchers and ornithologists show that East Point is apt to be a major migration corridor during fall migration. Large flocks of hundreds of American Robin, Blue Jay, Bohemian Waxwing, Cedar Waxwing, Canada Goose, Common Redpoll, Pine Siskin, Snow Bunting, White-winged Crossbill, and Cliff Swallow, as well as large groupings of raptors (kettles) have been observed migrating through East Point. Passerines usually arrive from the north and land in the wooded area between the lighthouse and East Lake in the early morning hours, rest and feed during the day, and leave at sunset, flying off the to the west, low over the tree line (Dwaine Oakley, pers. comm). Large flocks of waterbirds, waterfowl and shorebirds are also observed at East Point, including American Black Duck, Black Scoter, Bonaparte’s Gull, Common Eider, Common Goldeneye, Common Merganser, Great Black-backed Gull, Herring Gull, Long-tailed Duck, Northern Gannet, Sanderling, Surf Scoter, White-winged Scoter and Wilson’s Storm Petrel. However, the likelihood of these species being struck by turbines is low, because they usually stay on or over the water near the lighthouse. Two physical factors combine to make East Point an important stopover area for birds during fall migration. First, migrants typically follow coastlines and other linear features and form a concentrated stream of migration. Therefore, peninsulas like East Point can concentrate large numbers of nocturnal migrants that had been migrating over a large body of water (i.e., like the Gulf of Saint Lawrence). Second, there are only a few relatively small wooded patches for the birds to land in at East Point, thus concentrating them in small areas for resting and feeding between flights. This has been observed at East Point, where large mixed flocks of exhausted warblers landed in the parking lot after flying over water from the north after a storm (David Seeler, pers. comm.). If migrants coming in from the north were not able to land in the sheltered wooded areas in order to avoid turbines, there could possibly be high bird mortality due to exposure, without them being struck directly by the turbines.

From our surveys, the highest concentrations of fall migrants were observed in sites closer to the lighthouse, with concentrations decreasing further west. Because of the high numbers of birds observed in these areas during fall, we consider the placement of turbines in proposed array 2 (F08 and F09) and 3 (F11 and F12) to pose a high risk to migrating birds. Turbines in array 1 (point counts S1-S10) are all located in the area that likely poses a lower risk to birds during fall migration. In array 1, the greater risk posed to birds would likely be from disturbance impacts and habitat loss related to turbine construction rather than direct kills from turbine strikes. Finally, all of the available data and information on bird usage of the study area have been obtained during daylight hours. While there is no information available on the usage of the area by nocturnal migrants, we suspect that the volume of passerine migration at night is considerably greater than what has been observed during the day. Particular weather events (e.g. storm fronts, low cloud ceilings, and especially heavy fog) are all known to greatly reduce the height that birds fly during nocturnal migration, increasing the risk that they will be flying within the sweep of the turbine rotors. Such weather events have the potential to result in episodic, large kills. To more fully evaluate the current proposal, we recommend conducting another season of fall migration surveys at the new turbine locations that were not surveyed in fall 2005. This will also provide a much better comparison between spring and fall seasons. We also suggest that monitoring continue following the installation of the turbines.

5.0 Summary 1. This study was undertaken under contract with PEI Wind Coorporation to

describe bird activity at proposed wind turbine sites at East Point, PEI. Surveys were conducted during fall and spring migration, as well as during the breeding season.

2. In the fall of 2005, 998 observations were recorded, which consisted of 9492 birds of 74 species.

3. A greater number of birds using sites closer to the tip of east point indicated that turbines located at stops F09, F08, F11 and F12 would pose a high risk to fall migrants. Thus, these proposed locations were dropped and three different turbine locations were added for the spring and summer surveys.

4. During the spring surveys, 762 observations were recorded for 1967 birds of 64 species. The majority of the species detected in the spring surveys are considered common in the province (S4 or higher).

5. Fifty-nine breeding bird species were detected during the breeding surveys. Birds breeding in the area of wind turbines generally have lower collision rates than non-residents. The majority of species detected in the summer surveys are considered common in the province (S4 or higher). Thus, the overall risk to breeding birds at East Point appears to be relatively low.

5. The greatest risk to birds in the study area would likely be disturbance impacts and habitat loss from turbine construction and maintenance rather than direct kills

22

from turbine strikes. In particular, the small forest patches at East Point are important foraging and resting areas for nocturnal migrants.

6. It should be noted that there is no available information on usage by nocturnal migrants who may fly at collision height.

7. We recommend conducting surveys during fall migration at the new turbine locations and to continue monitoring following turbine installation.
