I may as well start with this morning=2C where I heard my first dark-eyed j=
unco vocalizing on territory. Song sparrows were everywhere in full song f=
rom the tops of trees. I saw my first grackles in this area with two at Ro=
se Bay=2C and two in Bayport. I had heard some at First South a few weeks =
ago.

An update on the eagle nest in Dayspring. As of March 5=2C the pair had fi=
nished rebuilding the nest. As of the past seven days=2C there was only on=
e day that I did not see eiither one or both of the pair in the nest. One =
of the pair seemed to be fully sitting as if egg laying has occurred or is =
about to.

On March 15=2C Elizabeth Doull and I went on a bird jaunt. My goal was to =
locate evening grosbeaks for her and we finally were successful with around=
55 of them along the Old Harmony Road=2C which is close to Caledonia. Oth=
er notables that we found were 10 purple finches at Mahone Bay=2C a red-win=
ged blackbird at Blockhouse which was vocal=2C a ruffed grouse along the Ol=
d Harmony Road that was strolling through a yard=2C and at the High Liner P=
lant in Lunenburg a boreal chickadee=2C golden-crowned kinglets and an oran=
ge-crowned warbler with black-capped chickadees. I think the orange-crowne=
d warbler is likely the same one that was seen there on the Lunenburg Chris=
tmas Bird Count and has survived the winter in that area.
=20
The redhead was still with the 500 greater scaup at First South=2C but the =
flock is hanging close to Corkum's Island and makes it hard to pick the red=
head out due to distance.
=20
On March 16=2C I noted a return of lots of house sparrows in Lunenburg afte=
r a virtual absence of them over the winter. I counted 50 plus and could h=
ear them vocalizing on territory from almost every building along the main =
street. The largest group of 30 plus was across from the legion at the usu=
al location.
