All:
I took a stroll (no faster) around the grassy area n.e. of the beach
house at Rainbow Haven PP this a.m. The entire area, but for a few
high spots, has been flooded, and I found no grass or marsh sparrows.
Of routine interest (no rarities for NS-RBA) were:
Black-headed Gull - a flock of about 40 "roosting" on the
water n. of the grassy area. My experience is that this small gull
tends to "roost" in groups on water rather than land, unlike the large
gulls.
Horned Lark - three of the usual boreal/taiga subspecies
_alpestris_ (yellow-face, warm brown back). If anyone comes across
white-faced Horned Larks(or with limited yellow), please try to get
good photos.
All other passerines were in the spruces near the beach
house where there is still a good crop of Bayberry. These were ca. 30
"Myrtle Warbler", 4-5 Song Sparrow, one Swamp Sparrow.
Cheers, Ian
Ian McLaren
