Hi all
It was another humid day in Pictou Co. yesterday with just a little =
relief at the shore of Big I. Again birding was a little slow, but with =
some digging, I came up with a bit of a list. Noteworthy. 2 Red-necked =
Grebes in alternate gear- (nice red necks) were near scoters and loons =
along the Strait at the east end of the island. It was nice to see 7 =
Ovenbirds and 2 Canada Warblers. The latter were likely first fall birds =
with only a very fine neck streaking. My ebird submission is below for =
anyone interested.=20
cheers
Ken
