Well, the whitethroats down Wyman Road (south of Yarmouth) way have got up
and went with the improving weather.
Boreals have been of happy memory for some time. Chebogue Meadows Trail was
one of the last places you could expect to see one. Haven't been in there
for some time. Shouldn't be so busy!
House sparrows: Have been down for some years. No recent changes obvious.
My wife and I have been walking Water Street from the ferry terminal to the
south end of the town, and there is at least one family squawking about the
bushes. It's one formerly irruptive exotic that's good to see back.

Subject: [NatureNS] Comments on white-throated sparrow numbers
Hi all:
Over the winter white-throated sparrows were abundant. I've almost
completed the stats for the North American Migration count for Lunenburg
County. One field participant to report yet. On my route numbers of
white-throated sparrows were very low. Overall from everyone else who
participated numbers were way down. I've had some emails also from people
about why no white-throated sparrows are being seen. In my travels out
birding I've noticed few of these birds about. What is the concensus across
the province on this. I would be most interested to see if this species has
gone to other counties in numbers for nesting denoting the reason for few
about in Lunenburg County or if this might be a province wide trend.
Also, of concern to me was the low number of boreal chickadees with only one
and extremely low numbers of house sparrows. I haven't taken the time to
see if there are trends from previous years on other species yet.
