All:

I think I should have reported - for those who keep track - a few  
sightings by daughter Mary and me at Hartlen Pt., HRM, on nominal  
Victoria Day, 23 May. Among 7 warbler species, all reported earlier,  
was a singing Chestnut-sided - not sure if it had been noted earlier  
(with withdrawal of an April report).

There is a pair of Great Horned Owls nesting in the area - pointed out  
by golfers, but exact site best not publicized. A notable dearth of  
hares - usually one to several - may be a result.

The most interesting bird was a female-plumaged Common Redpoll  
nibbling at old birch seeds - late, but not nearly record so.
