Yesterday (August 9) I found a Brown Thrasher at Wallace Harbour.  It
was at North Wallace, just at the northern end of the causeway, in a
clump of grey birch, trembling aspen and bayberry between the fields and
the salt marsh.  It was quite agitated, and carrying 2 insect larvae.
After about a minute of very close viewing (15 feet or so), a second
Thrasher, which I assume to have been a recently-fledged young based on
its weak flight, burst out of the bushes a bit closer to me and made out
across the field, followed by the agitated bird, which was still calling
loudly.

Monarch butterflies seem to be as common in northern NS as they have
been in NB this summer: I saw them on numerous occasions along the coast
between Tidnish and Pictou.
