All:

I have heard via Barbara Ruff than the warbler was photographed by  
Marsha Tedford  by the Annis River, near Carleton, Yar. Co. It was  
present for two days about 5 April. I have permission and will post  
the photo on NS-RBA photos at the end of the warblers folder.

The weather set-up at the time was a fair match for that of the  
early-April 2009 "fallout." A low pressure system moved n.e. through  
the Great Lakes region on 4 April, occasioning strong s.w. airflow  
from the U.S. Gulf Coast and along the East Coast to Nova Scotia. An  
important difference was the lack of strong westerlies in the Gulf and  
Caribbean - the warbler (and the Blue Grosbeak?) probably came from  
the Gulf Coast rather than caught migrating over the Gulf or  
Caribbean, as was the scenario in April 2009.

Cheers, Ian

Ian McLaren
