Hi all:
=20
Jill Comolli found a snow goose with Canada Geese in the cove by Conrad's E=
states which is on the back road from First South to Lunenburg=2C which pas=
ses by Corkum's Island. Lun. Co.
=20
Today David Walmark and I saw the two snow geese again that I reported as f=
ound by Bob Barnes at Branch LaHave in the pond of the right if traveling f=
rom Bridgewater just as you pass the Branch LaHave Sign. Lun. Co.
=20
I dropped by the red-headed woodpecker location today in Pleasant River=2C =
Queens Co. with David Walmark and the male is now sporting almost full adul=
t plumage. He was calling away on territory looking for a mate. This is t=
he first time I've heard this species call and I find it quite similar to a=
northern flicker. Not having this species around here=2C if I were to hav=
e heard it in the field I would have assumed that it was a northern flicker=
and therefore I was quite surprised to find out that it was not.
=20
Not rare=2C but I saw my first osprey today on the nest just before the Lak=
e Munro sign if heading towards Annapolis. GSP 20 T 0315466 4932532. Ther=
e was also a male and female rusty blackbird at that spot. =20
=20
At the Annapolis Royal Marsh - French Basin Trail was a pied-billed grebe a=
nd we enjoyed watching it call. We had gadwalls there and also at Belle Is=
le Marsh and Northern Shovelers at both locations. At the Annapolis Royal =
Marsh was a female and male Eurasian Wigeon.
=20
At the Belle Isle Marsh=2C not rare=2C but a treat were 19 Tree swallows. =
There was another group of swallows just outside of Bridgewater=2C and I'm =
sure that a barn swallow was with them. David was driving quite fast at th=
e speed limit at that point and we did not turn back. =20
=20
At Bridgetown=2C again not rare=2C but there seems to be a lot of them arou=
nd this year=2C was a turkey vulture. =20
