--=====================_187222218==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed 20 Oct 2010, 0730-0930 hours Fairview Container Terminal Landfill, off Bayne Street, Halifax A lovely morning at possibly the least attractive birding location in the metro area. Most of the rarities previously reported for this location seem to have departed, not surprising given the ideal migration weather the past few evenings. Today I saw the following: 1 Indigo Bunting (seen also yesterday by Kevin Lantz) 1 Northern Mockingbird (seen also yesterday by Kevin Lantz) 1 male Northern Cardinal (seen also yesterday by Kevin Lantz) 2 immature White-crowned Sparrows Also dozens of American Robins, a few White-throated Sparrows, a single immature House Sparrow (former resident flock has vanished), Song Sparrows beyond count, singles each of Downy and Hairy Woodpecker, a flock of chickadees, several dozen American Goldfinchs, and two Purple Finches. This is a very rich area for birds, despite its scruffy appearance. It remains worth checking through the autumn. ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Maybank maybank@ns.sympatico.ca 902-852-2077 Editor, "Nova Scotia Birds" http://nsbs.chebucto.org Organiser, Maritimes Nature Travel Club http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel author, "Birding Sites of Nova Scotia" http://tinyurl.com/birdingns Downloadable Nova Scotia Maps for inside front and back covers: http://tinyurl.com/mr627d White's Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada --=====================_187222218==.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <html> <body> 20 Oct 2010, 0730-0930 hours<br><br> <b><u>Fairview Container Terminal Landfill, off Bayne Street, Halifax<br><br> </u></b>A lovely morning at possibly the least attractive birding location in the metro area.
