Five days of birding and I'm a little behind. Anyhow=2C On July 27=2C I ra=
n the outing for the Nova Scotia Bird Society for Mahone Bay. It was a goo=
d day=2C not too hot and not too cold=2C but just right and with just the p=
roper amount of wind to keep the mosquitos and horseflies mostly at bay. I=
had four individuals show up for the outing. Three of these were photogra=
phers=2C one of which is a birder from Florida/North Carolina. Another of =
the group was a very sharp birder who is only 11 years old from Newfoundlan=
d. Probably the best birds seen by him were of a veery=2C a Canada warbler=
and a gray catbird all of which were a first for him. It is wonderful to =
see a young birder when he gets a life bird like a Canada warbler=2C it doe=
s the heart and soul good. During the outing some great photos were obtain=
ed and we racked up 48 species in total. The Dynamite Trail in Mahone Bay w=
as the most productive area covered and provided a nice grouping of differe=
nt species. We had 34 black-capped chickadees there=2C four red-breasted n=
uthatches=2C an alder flycatcher=2C a veery and a good array of warblers. =
The second best location was Second Peninsula. Overall for this trip warbl=
ers were not plentiful with only nine species and we had nice close looks a=
t three species of shorebirds. At Second Peninsula there was a group of 7=
2 red-winged blackbirds.
