>> Hi all,
>>
>> Harold Forsyth and I were also at Miner's Marsh on Saturday morning,
>> we saw briefly and heard clearly for five minutes the marsh wren. We
>> sighted many mallards, seven green winged teal, two female shovelers,
>> a few black ducks, two blallards, one coot. The kingfisher was very
>> active, as was an adult red tailed hawk. One pine grosbeak was very
>> vocal as it flew in and landed in a tree above us. The small birds
>> were flitting among the trees and shrubbery along the north slope
>> behind the marsh. There was one grackle, some downey woodpeckers, one
>> brown creeper, pine siskins, goldfinches, red breasted nuthatch, song
>> and white throated sparrows, and lots of juncos.
>>
>> We met and spoke with James, but the lists look like we were  
>> either in
>> different areas or on different days!  Amazing that this small area
>> can hide so many birds.

>>> Hi folks,
>>> On a cold morning at Miner's Marsh (Kentville; 9:30 to 11:00 am):
>>>
>>> - no sign of an ammodramus sparrow
>>> - 2 *American Tree Sparrows*
>>> - 1 *adult male Wilson's Warbler *(yikes! Brrr...)
>>>
>>> Both species were found in a large mixed flock, along the North  
>>> trail,
>>> containing primarily *White-throated Sparrows*, *Song Sparrows*,  
>>> *Pine
>>> Siskins* and a male and female *Northern Cardinal* (and other usual
>>> residents).
>>>
>>> Cheers,
>>> James.
