Dorothy Poole=2C Peter McLeod=2C Pat Gladman and I took a run to Cape Sable=
Island today. We had a wonderful day with about 52 species seen by all of=
us and Dorothy had an additional half dozen or so at her place in Milton. =

=20
A large thank you goes to Murray for giving me another life bird. We had v=
isited the location of the great-crested flycatcher earlier and it was not =
present. Murray let us know that it had returned and as a result I was fin=
ally able to see one of these birds. After chasing after such species for =
24 years I managed to at last obtain great close up looks. This year I als=
o made many attempts at seeing a black-crowned night heron. Of all places =
to finally spot one=2C we watched four fly over Garfield's yard. So thank =
you again Murray. A life bird and a year bird in one stop.
=20
Thank you also for the updates on the fork-tailed flycatcher as we all got =
great looks at this bird also today.
=20
Other finds not included in other postings. There was a vesper sparrow=2C =
that all four of my party saw at the end of the Hawk=2C where the house was=
that was torn down. This bird was on the edge of the grass and finally af=
ter quite a few attempts=2C stayed up long enough for us to get a positive =
id.
=20
Unconfirmed at this point is a possible western sandpiper. Three of us des=
ignated the id as such for the sandpiper that we observed. Photos were ta=
ken and if the results come back positive=2C I will post the location where=
this particular bird was observed. If the results come back negative=2C t=
han I will also let you know what was determined.
=20
Of interest. At Bacarro=2C alongside the road in a pond was a female wood =
duck. This is the first wood duck that I have seen in that location.
=20
Also at Bacarro were two ruby-crowned kinglet and a blue-headed vireo. =20
=20
At Cape Sable Island an osprey is a late one.
