Hi Everyone;
The Nova Scotia Bird Society Meeting and Atlas
Workshop was a huge success! 27 people attended the
meeting on Saturday night, which was followed by a
walk to listen for owls and rails. Some observers
were lucky enough to hear a distant N. Saw-whet Owl.
Saturday morning Becky Stewart led the group around
the grounds for a Point Count demonstration. Some
birds heard were: Ruby-crowned Kinglets,
Golden-crowned Kinglets, Blue-headed Vireos, Winter
Wrens, N. Parulas, lots of Magnolia Warblers,
Yellow-rumped Warblers, Black-thr. Green Warblers,
Palm, Yellow and Black & White Warblers, a Chipping
Sparrow and a Broad-winged Hawk!
At breakfast we were treated to an array of birds at
the feeders outside the diningroom windows, such as
Red Crossbills, Hummingbirds, Wht-thr. Sparrow,
Lincoln's Sparrow, a Savannah Sparrow, a Cedar Waxwing
and a Red-winged Blackbird! I should get the Lodge to
enter my Yard List competition!
The field trips went well. Ken McKenna led a walk
outside of Sherbrooke Village - a joint trip with the
St. Mary's River Association. Bob McDonald hiked to
the fish ladder; and most of the rest of us drove up
the logging road that leads to the fish ladder; where
we joined up with Bob.
Besides the warblers already mentioned, we added Am.
Redstart, Nashville, Wilson's and Northern
Waterthrush, Boreal Chickadees, Yellow-bellied
Flycatchers, and a Black-backed Woodpecker!
A couple of people took out a canoe; and others
explored some of the other trails. Everyone had a
thoroughly enjoyable time!
Cheers;
Suzanne Borkowski
