Wasn't there one in Canso a few years back...the first one photographed by
Tom K? Or am I confusing that with another bird?

<p>All:<br>

I have placed a fine photo of a (young male?) BRONZED COWBIRD on <br>
NS-RBA photos at the end of the Tanagers to Finches folder. It was <br>
present 27 June to 1 August this year on Seal Island, and photographed <br>
by Charles Kenny.<br>
<br>
This cowbird breeds from Central America to Mexico and bordering <br>
U.S.A., where its range has expanded in recent years.<br>
<br>
Strange to say, our first one occurred at the same feeder in early May <br>
1991 and was well described by the residents (including Charles Kenny) <br>
as their "grackle with the red eyes." Our next was on CSI in late=
<br>
October 1997 and again well described by the CSI birders. Finally, one <br>
turned up dead in a Dartmouth backyard 8 July 2000, the specimen in <br>
the NS Museum of Nat. History.<br>
<br>
It is even more extraordinary that ours are almost the only records <br>
for the East north of s.e. U.S.A. The only one for New England <br>
appears to be a bird that turned up in Maine late October last year, <br>
and there seem to be no records for elsewhere in Atlantic Canada, <br>
Qu=E9bec, or Ontario.<br>
<br>
This sure is the best place for vagrant birds in the East (tho' N.L. <=
br>
birders might argue)'<br>
<br>
