We have had a Starling doing a Comm. Loon imitation this spring! A very
good imitation too, but, of course, without the volume.

I am certainly not casting any doubt on the observation (although
early, it sounds entirely plausible), but it just reminded me of
an observation about two weeks ago, I forgot to report, of a <u>Starling
</u>doing a fantastic <u>Eastern Wood-Pewee rendition</u> on Main
Street Kentville. Stopped me in my tracks while walking to work!!
("Woah...hold on here...")<br>
<br>
This adds to the ongoing list of <u>Starling mimicry</u> I've
heard in the last couple of years, which also includes <u>Alder
Flycatcher</u>, <u>Northern Cardinal</u> and <u>Killdeer</u>...<br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>

This morning I bumped into Jean McKiel of Lunenburg. Now
she is a person who knows her birds and she told me that she
heard and saw an Eastern Wood Pewee. I questioned her and
she said it was not a phoebe. This bird was by the Save
Easy in Lunenburg. Jean has worked with penguins in New
Zealand and has done other bird related things and over the
years when she reports something it is accurate. If she is
unsure of a bird she lets me know. I happened to stop by
the Save Easy for some groceries and sure enough I heard the
initial notes of an Eastern wood pewee twice. It was
raining hard and I could not locate the bird though. There
was a killdeer calling by Cell Pack to. <br>
