Hi all:
=20
I guess I'll put my posting in for none migration first. I did some atlass=
ing in my square which lies between Woodstock=2C NS and Walden. This is th=
e Caribou Lake Square on the 16th after work. I was pleased to find my fir=
st Baybreasted warbler for the year there. I also was able to upgrade two =
other species and finally catch a black-throated green warbler carrying foo=
d. I must say that in my travels over the years and especially this year i=
n this square that I've seen more Blackburnian warblers then I ever thought=
possible in one area. This square has them everywhere that I stop and the=
y are by far the most prominant warbler. I've yet to catch one carrying fo=
od or to get this species at the highest level of breeding. =20
=20
Now for my signs of migration. I came across a large flock of migrants tha=
t evening. At one location I observed two hairy woodpeckers=2C a northern =
flicker=2C a blue-headed vireo=2C a red-eyed vireo=2C a black-throated gree=
n warbler=2C 10 black-capped chickadees=2C a golden-crowned kinglet=2C a da=
rk-eyed junco=2C three blackburnian warblers=2C a yellow-rumped warbler=2C =
a white-throated sparrow=2C a magnolia warbler=2C along with I assume none =
migrant magnolia warbler=2C yellow-rumped warbler=2C a family group of dark=
-eyed juncos=2C hermit thrushes=2C and to my memory my first ever female ba=
ybreasted warbler. Thinking back over the years=2C I never really thought =
about it before now=2C but I've only ever seen male baybreasted warblers. =
The female was right in front of me at ground level feeding=2C which threw =
me off and I could not figure out what warbler I was seeing at first. At l=
east that is the only warbler that I can figure out that it might have been=
. It was sort've beige in colour with two prominant white wing bars and a =
distinct brown along the sides. It matches up with the female baybreasted =
warbler anyhow in National Geographic. =20

I noticed my first flock of American robins flying last night.

Also=2C last night over Bridgewater were two common nighthawks.
