Interesting brochure.  The photos certainly indicate a major change
since my last visit there!  I grew up nearby, and last knew Belchers
Marsh prior to the development of the neighbouring area - as a nameless,
bog-margined pond.  Aside from the exception of the adjacent
Bicentennial highway, it was a relatively quiet spot.  During my last
visit, in June of 1985 or '86, I briefly searched (unsuccessfully) for
the nest of an agitated pair of Greater Yellowlegs.  There were a couple
of pairs of Fox Sparrows in the surrounding spruce scrub, and Rusty
Blackbirds at the pond.  Probably not the case today....

Hello Derek,

Sorry about not indicating where Belchers Marsh is located.  It is in
Halifax, in Clayton Park West, east of Parkland Drive between Langbrae
Ave and Farnham Gate Rd.  You can see it on a map of the city.  We have
prepared a brochure which includes some human and natural history as
well as a trail map.  It can be found on our web site at

www.halifaxnorthwesttrails.ca

Hope that you visit one of these days.  We have also identified over 100
species of plants in the Park, so it's a great spot for a walk (2.5 km
of trail).

Regards,

Bob McDonald
