I spent a few hours out birding today.  It was very slow.  The Back Harbour=
 Trail in Lunenburg and around Lunenburg as a whole was very quiet.  I did =
find a yellow-rumped warbler on the trail though.  There was one great blue=
 heron in the cove by ABCO.  I found out from my brother in First South tha=
t there has been a red-bellied woodpecker there now for a week.  I believe =
that I saw it today=2C in flight=2C and caught a brief glimpse afterwards a=
lso of a bird that took off=2C which likely was this bird.  The male that I=
 spotted at my feeder in Bridgewater yesterday was back repeatedly today.  =
The two American coots were still at Mason's Beach.  They were in the same =
spot that I saw them a week ago in a small pond area in back of a property =
