25 April 2011

Johnny Nickerson has asked me to forward these recent sightings from 
Cape Sable Island.

The Little Blue Heron reported previously from Newellton was still 
present when last looked for, two days ago.

The two "accessible" pair of America Oystercatchers have returned, 
and Johnny will investigate whether the two pair that nest at less 
visible locales are back as well.

There have been larger than normal numbers of Brown-headed Cowbirds 
moving through.   Johnny had at least 20 at his feeder in Lower 
Clark's Harbour.

The overwintering shorebird flock now comprises 20 Dunlin, 1 
Sanderling, 35 Black-bellied Plover, and 3 Red Knot.

The Brant flock is down to 300 birds.

Three White-crowned Sparrows were noted at feeders during a recent 
passage of Dark-eyed Juncos.

Good birding,

Blake
