I think that was a good decision James. Besides the cold, I find that there
are still some birds migrating throughout the first week of June. A few
years ago, someone left a light on at one of the wind farms I was surveying
on the night of June 9th. In the morning there were 14 dead birds beneath it
comprised of Red-eyed Vireos and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers. These would
have been birds that are still migrating.

Subject: [NatureNS] Breeding Bird Survey
I was going to do my breeding bird survey which starts at Jordan Falls, goes
into Shelburne and up into Welshtown. I went out at 03:00 and found that I
had to scrape ice off of my windshield. Who would have thought on June 4
that ice would be heavy enough on the windshield so that the wipers would
not remove it. Anyhow, I set off and went about a quarter of the way and
thought to myself, what am I doing? I turned around and went back home and
will run the route later in the month when the weather is warmer and the
birds will be singing and calling as they normally would. The cold would
not have made it a valid census.
I'll focus on the western kingbird later in the morning found by John
Robart. This bird was at the old Kirk's Christmas Tree Yard in Bridgewater.
It is at the end of the Glenn Alen Subdivision across from the ball field.
It is an area that provides public access if the bird sticks around.
I also will be checking out the nesting phoebe and if the eastern bluebird
pair are still around at Vogler's Cove.
I think I'll also go out Western Shore way to a location for olive-sided
flycatcher and black-throated blue warblers that traditionally nest there
and check that location out. I'll post my findings later if successful and
will send a report through to Dalhousie University in regards to the
olive-sided flycatcher. I will need to go back to Wallace Lake to get a GPS
location for the Canada Warbler for them.
