I guess I forgot to mention the turtle part when submitting this. I took p=
hotos of a larger turtle with painted turtles about three or four weeks ago=
which I've yet to id. The shell was different and the underpart of the th=
e shell was also different. This was at the Desbrisay Park in Bridgewater=
=2C so I suspect that it was a release of a turtle species that is not supp=
osed to be here. If someone can have a look at the photos email me and I'l=
l send them to you.

Hi all:
=20
I've recently had reports from Glenn Rhodenizer of Second Peninsula of an A=
merican pipit that has been hanging around the farm field there for a numbe=
r of weeks now. It has been present for about three weeks total. There ar=
e now four brown-headed cowbirds there with three males and a female. He h=
ad one bobolink about a week ago and now there are two males and a female. =
Either seven black-bellied plovers or American golden plovers have shown u=
p on his back field. He has never seen them there in the spring=2C but alw=
ays in the fall. I described to him the difference between the two species=
and he will try to get a definite id for me. A male and female indigo bun=
ting which had been present there left only a few days ago. =20
=20
From East LaHave=2C Robin Wyllie had what he keyed out as a western tanager=
. It is quite possible that this bird was a first spring summer tanager=2C=
possibly the same bird that had been in West Dublin. His description was =
that he thought it was a large goldfinch at first except for the red head. =
His original description on the phone was of an all yellow bird with a red=
head. He is unsure if it had black on the back or wings and the bird did =
not stick around longer than a day=2C so we will never know.
