Our whale-watching adventure, again cancelled due to high winds, was to have originated at Brier Island so we decided to explore the island itself.  Our best options proved to be graveled roads that lead to its two lighthouses, overlooking the Bay of Fundy at the west and northeast ends of the island.  Seascapes and coastal wetlands at the western lighthouse were especially scenic (photo) and both seabirds and migrant raptors (sharp-shinned hawks and broad-winged hawks) were abundant.  Unfortunately, no whales were observed in the turbulent waters of the Bay.
