This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_BdJAQRjUq4UjnyADGtmSsA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT ---- Original Message ----- From: Hans Toom To: NS-RBA Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2011 4:54 PM Subject: Hooded Warbler Fulton Lavender and I teamed up for a morning of birding. At Duncan's Cove we had Philadelphia Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, American Redstart, Black-and-white Warbler and Common Yellowthroat. Raptors included Merlin and Northern Harrier. While we were standing on the entrance road scanning the bushes Fulton thought he heard a Baird's Sparrow singing faintly from the grasses below the two westernmost cottages. Alas, we both agree that young birds of many species have sloppy and incomplete songs this time of year so visual confirmation is usually required. Later just before noon at Sambro Creek we found a Hooded Warbler. Interestingly, the trail at Sambro Creek was by far the most active bird location we encountered today. For me it was the most active location this fall. While the Hooded Warbler was the only addition to this list a longer stay there than the ten minutes we could afford would certainly have been productive. As the Terminator said, "I'll be back". Another addition was two Grey Jays crossing over Sandy Cove Road.
