Hi All,
Today at about 4:15 I had three quick glimpses of what I believe is a marsh
wren at Miner's Marsh in Kentville. The bird was in the cat tails at the
following Google Maps marker:

45.079340, -64.488918

The continuous scolding was what caught my attention. I stood for about ten
minutes waiting for the bird to come into view, I saw it briefly three
times. A dark cap with light supercillium and then a dark line on the side
of its face through the eye. The back was dark brown with light streaks
over the upper back. The tail was cocked upward once when the bird briefly
appeared. It skulked in the cat tails and the movement of the cat tails
revealed its position. In all I saw the bird for only 15 to 18 seconds!
(three views each five to six seconds)

The Cornell bird site's scold note recording matches what I heard this
afternoon.

Hopefully the bird will remain in location as one did here in the past!!

George Forsyth
