All:

Bernice and I did some casual birding as far as 3-fathom Hbr, HRM. The  
only sighting of note was a much buffeted Wood-Pewee at the top of the  
hill at Cow Bay opposite to the road to the naval gunnery facility.  
I'm almost certain it was an Eastern -- late, but not record late. It  
tended to perch upright on wires with tail slightly drooped -- an  
alerting feature cf. W. Wood-Peewee. It was also rather pale-breasted.  
Couldn't get good looks at wing bar features.

With Cave Swallows in numbers in s. Ontario and coastal  
Massachusetts,and at least one in Maine (along with a Bronzed  
Cowbird), it looks as though the strong airflow from the U.S.  
Southwest is bring birds hither.

Cheers, Ian

Ian McLaren
