MAY 17, 2012 - In early afternoon I went to Kentville's Miner's Marsh  
for a walk and to see if I could find the adult little blue heron and  
at least hear a sora or two.  I was lucky right away with the heron,  
for it flew into the middle of the cattail marsh and stayed there for  
my whole walk.  But the sora(s) did not call at all.  When I left,  
the heron was perched in a lone very small tree on an island in mid- 
marsh.

Also, perched on the top of a cattail fruiting stalk, was an eastern  
kingbird, right next to another stalk with a male red-winged blackbird.

Flowers seen included common hawthorn, choke cherry, shadbush or  
serviceberry, cuckoo-flower, common dandelion, garden forget-me-nots  
(both blue and white forms), yellow rocket, etc.?

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
