SEPT. 28, 2012 - Miner's Marsh in Kentville at noon-hour: a group of  
8  roosting yellowlegs, mostly or all greaters; a single lesser  
yellowlegs active elsewhere in the marsh; lots of sparrows (mostly  
young song sparrows?) in the cattail edges, and warblers? in the  
trees, including a single black-and-white for sure -- the bright  
Sunlight made seeing features difficult (plus a bit of warbler neck);  
and 2 flycatchers actively foraging together from dead trees in the  
marsh -- these two flycatchers looked to me like eastern wood  
pewees?; and a single juvenile great blue heron, plus uncounted red- 
winged blackbirds (heard in cattails).

Butterflies included just 2 cabbage whites and 1 clouded sulphur.

SEPT. 29, 2012 - Yesterday I re-started my back-yard bird-feeding,  
after a few months of none.  The chickadees & blue jays were right  
there as soon as any seeds were, and already now I have 5+ white- 
throated sparrows (migrants?) and 1+ imm. or female purple finch.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
