This afternoon after school I went for a walk on the dyke here in Port  
Williams, Kings County. At 45.08849,-64.418532 on the farm road behind  
the school I found a yellow breasted chat in a brush pile beside the  
roadway.

I also saw my first Iceland gulls of the season flying east over the  
river, probably coming from the New Minas sewage ponds and on their  
way to Boot Island for the night.

In the sumac beside the Port Williams sewage ponds there were many   
(12+) song sparrows, and on the north pond were fifty mallards. At  
least six of these were diving repeatedly like scaup, and staying  
submerged more than momentarily.
