Nice to read your report, James. I've had singing males of many warbler spe=
cies here, some just passing through, but others seems to be on territory, =
including Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Green, Yellow and th=
e early ones such as Yellow-rump, Redstart, Black-and-white and Palm).The f=
irst females just started showing up (not counting a pair of Common Yellowt=
hroats who seem to have found a nesting territory already). The Alder Flyca=
tchers are calling this morning as well as Pewee.
So sad to hear about the clear-cut. Devastating approach to forestry we hav=
e in Nova Scotia. In less than ten years it will be a good secondary growth=
patch, but meantime many species will arrive to find their home territory =
wiped out.
