Hi, is there another link to Phil's paper? The one you give leads to F. Sc=
ott Fitzgerald's recommended books, and the search function on that site do=
esn't seem to work on an iPhone.

Hi all,
Research on this period when songbird family groups are breaking up, and yo=

going on during what's probably the least-understood part of a songbird's l=

And some of the best work on this is being done right here in Nova Scotia, =
by Phil Taylor's lab at Acadia. A link to their most recent paper, on young=
Myrtle and Blackpoll Warblers in Newfoundland, is here: http://www.opencul=

Much of the report is quite technical, but it's fairly easy to get the jist=
of what was done and the sorts of things people are finding.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
We may just be in that doldrum period between when the adult birds are nest=

Hi Nancy & All, Aug 1, 2013
I rarely hear birds because my hearing is damaged but when ants swarm an=

I wonder if the sudden silence reflects ants swarming elsewhere ?
Two ant nests in the yard that I checked yesterday seemed deserted. One =
that I checked this morning has many winged ants.

Subject: [NatureNS] Silent or migrating warblers
I noticed a big difference this week compared to last. The woods are very s=
ilent. The most obvious absence is the Parulas. They were everywhere 7 days=
ago, singing, but I have heard not one these past few days. Ditto for Oven=
birds, Yellow-Rumps, Redstarts, B&Ws, Magnolias and Black Throated Blue War=
blers. All I am hearing is Yellowthroats and a few Bl Throated Greens in th=
e warbler world.
E Dalhousie, Kings Co is very inland. Basically at the intersection of King=
s, Annapolis and Lun Counties. Do the warblers move to more peripheral area=
s now or are they just silent?
Anyone noticing related changes in other locations?
Nancy
