Found a Common Snipe foraging with a small flock of short billed dowitchers
by the grasses in Grand Desert. The snipe stayed put while the dowitchers
got spooked and flew away. A few returned. Really good looks. It would
have been an amazing photo of both species feeding side by side if I had a
camera...
A few days ago, a black billed cuckoo flew past me when I was in Wentworth.
I ruled out several possible birds like mourning dove and robin (no white
belly), blue jay (blue back), etc. The cuckoo's back was green-grey. Met
a birder who visits the Nappan-Amherst Point marsh (at the back of the bird
sanctury). He informed me that he saw a common moorhen three weeks ago
adding that the biologists banded the bird. It made me wonder why the
biologists do not report such birds to NatureNS??
Cheers
Liz
