Peepers also in Bible Hill Monday night (a lone one) and in full chorus
Tuesday on.

The cheery sounds of peepers at last calling on Wolfville Ridge last night,
in ditch in front of our house and to the west in a small farm field pond.
Spotted an Osprey around noon today perched in a tree by the Bicentennial
Hwy on outskirts of Halifax, nr exit to Hammond Plains. On return journey, a
small group (6-8) of D-c.Cormorants were noted near the Windsor Causeway,
and a Yellowlegs was heard calling to the north of Robie Tufts Drive in
Wolfville.
I was intrigued with the difference in the colour status of our lawn between
yesterday and today. Sun and warm temps over the last 24 hrs changed grass
around home from a dry looking, straw-coloured growth yesterday to a
delightful greenish resemblance of grass today. As friends and I arrived
back in Wolfville, we were rather amazed to see how green the lawns were
looking along the main street.
On Sunday (Apr 22), Mary Pratt, a neighbour about ½ km along the Wolfville
Ridge Rd, had two male Cardinals chasing each other across her property in
the afternoon. Unfortunately they have not been seen since.
Also received a report of an Indigo Bunting visiting feeders at a home in
Black Rock (Kings Co) on Apr 13.
Cheers
