Hi jim.
There were several BNS members in the group who are very seasoned =
naturalists including Harold Forsyth and Nancy Nickerson, etc Between us =
we figured we have at least 300 years of experience.....and it took us a =
while before we hilariously labelled it a spotted sand-peeper.
Thanks for the herpatlas info.
Andy

Andy, was it spring peepers you were hearing? i.e., loud, high single =
"peeps" from our lone species of treefrog? Another frog that calls at =
this time of year is the green frog, which sounds like a plucked banjo =
string ("glunk"). Try Googling the herpatlas (Herpetological Atlas of =
Nova Scotia) or just novascotiafrogs perhaps, where you should be able =
on line to listen to all of the province's frog and toad species, of =
which we have about 12 species or less. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

Did you consider a frog? I was with some fellow seasoned naturalists =
recently and it took several minutes of listening to a 'bird call' which =
we eventually agreed was a frog.

Thanks to everyone who suggested possible birds that I might be =
hearing at the Annapolis Royal Marsh. However, I'm pretty sure that it =
is none of those that were suggested, as I'm familiar with their songs =
(except for the Rusty Blackbird, but when I checked out its song online, =
it is definitely not that).=20
Where the sound is coming from, among the cattails at the edge of =
the marsh, there are sora, pied-billed grebes and red-winged blackbirds =
nesting or tending young, but I know it's none of them. There is also =
an American Coot that hangs out nearby, but it is not a coot sound. It =
appears as though the sound is coming from among the cattails, likely in =
or close to the water. The last time I heard it I could distinguish 3 =
or 4 distinct notes, same pitch, close together, but still very raspy =
and low pitched.
