The spring 2019 issue of the Nova Scotia Bird Society magazine has just bee=
n published online. The cover page has a beautiful photo of a rare Chuck-wi=
ll's-widow by Simon d'Entremont. One of the NSBS Facebook page admins, Jaso=
n Dain, is interviewed in this issue, so have a read to learn more about hi=
m. Paid members can now download it by following this link:

**Here is the Editor's Foreword for this issue**
The bird of the season was certainly the Chuck-will=92s-widow at Saint Mary=
=92s University in Halifax; however, the two Ruffs, a Franklin=92s Gull, a =
Western Meadowlark, three Worm-eating Warblers, and two Painted Buntings we=
re nothing to be ashamed of. The most useful reports for conservation resea=
rchers aren=92t of the rarities, but of our more common species. This issue=
debuts Nancy Dowd=92s eBirding Tips, where she will provide guidance on ho=
w to share your daily observations on eBird efficiently and in a way that i=
s most useful to potential researchers.
We are very fortunate to have wonderful documentation of three strong candi=
dates of Pine Siskin x American Goldfinch hybrids in Nova Scotia. At a quic=
k glance they appear quite similar to Pine Siskins, but when you start to l=
ook at all of the features, some things don=92t quite look right. Have a re=
ad, look at the photos =96 you never know, maybe you=92ll get one at your f=
eeder during winter?
Details of two research projects are shared with readers. One involving det=
ermining success of wood lath A-frame nesting shelters for Common Eiders be=
gan this year, mostly in the southwest, but will likely expand to other par=
ts of the province in the coming years (see page 9). This spring Herring Gu=
lls were fitted with GPS trackers on Whitehead Island and Bon Portage Islan=
d to provide another group of researchers with details on the gull=92s use =
of anthropogenic food sources (see page 12).
Enjoy!
