Yesterday Patricia Chalmers, Dominic Cormier, and I went birding together
around Halifax and Dartmouth. We went searching for a number of recent
rarities in the area and although we weren't able to find any of them, we
managed to see the following.

Yellow-breasted Chat - 1
Downy Woodpecker - 1
Song Sparrow - 1
Black Guillemot - 3
Hastings Street
Northern Cardinal - 2
White-throated Sparrow - 2

Cole Harbour Funeral Home
Bohemian Waxwings - 28
West Lawrencetown Road
American Coot - 3

Red-breasted Merganser - 75
Common Goldeneye - 7
Black-headed Gull - 4

Bufflehead - 1
Common Eider - 25
Killdeer - 4
Sanderling - 7
The hawk we saw on Hastings Street looked to be rather large to us as we
watched it flying around for a few minutes looking for field marks in
separating sharpies and coops. Neither Patricia nor I were confident in an
identification, but Dominic, who has had experience with Cooper's hawks in
Ontario, seemed to believe it appeared more like a Cooper's. I'm not sure
how confident he is in the ID, so I will leave it to him to say his
thoughts. In any case, keep your eyes up!
