Hi Hans

Is the road to Chebucto Head still gated?  Thanks.

Laura and I decided to spend the evening watching cruise ships and other 
marine traffic, including birds, at Chebucto Head this evening.  But, as it 
happens sitting on the wires between the second and third telephone poles 
from the gate sat a Western Kingbird. The brightness and extent of yellow on 
the belly would suggest an adult. I'll study my photos this evening to see 
if it might be something more exotic.  Laura got sidetracked by blackberries 
so that as they say is that, although some juvenile Common Yellowthroats 
posed nicely for me in the setting sun.

Due to the lateness of the day the Western Kingbird will almost certainly 
overnight in the area.  Besides Chebucto Head Road, another good place to 
look would be Duncan's Cove and the gulley.
