David Walmark and I took a run on Sunday to Amherst Point Bird Sanctuary. =
We were surprised to see 33 bald eagles at what I can only figure out was t=
he Shubenacadie River. There is no signage for the river along the highway=
. =20
=20
At Folly Mountain it was like winter=2C but that produced Lincoln's sparrow=
=2C mourning warbler and bank swallows were also present.
=20
Near Folly Mountain by the woods road with the brook near the main road whi=
ch is always a stop on the field trip it was good to see that a mourning wa=
rbler has returned there and least flycatcher was easily seen.
=20
At Wentworth Park a singing rose-breasted grosbeak was great and a brief lo=
ok was pleasant. We had the eastern phoebe there and yellow-bellied flycat=
cher.
=20
At Amherst Point there were the usual sora rails=2C five black terns=2C nor=
thern shovelers=2C eight northern pintails=2C three American bitterns=2C bl=
ue-winged teal and the other usuals. Just before the backside of the marsh=
area there is a house on the left with eight cliff swallow nests and the o=
ccupants were feeding the females on the nest. =20
=20
Birds dropped into our lap litterly on this trip. We had 71 species. Davi=
d added over 20 to his year list and I had 12 new species. It was a good d=
ay with blowing wind=2C which kept the blackflies away. I'll send a more d=
etailed list when time avails.
