Canada<BR>========================= This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_DzbMaJcnLtlatLnPuMKrqQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi Patrick, I put your mystery photo in photoshop and enlarged and highlighted it as much as I could and it clearly shows a white chest with dark spotting. This combined with size and shape, especially bill shape, suggests Hermit Thrush but there is no certainty. Hans ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Kelly To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 11:48 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Migratory count day, atlassing and two mystery bird Hi everyone: LIke last year, I combined the migratory bird count with atlassing and started on a fourth square just south of me. Some of the birds that were unexpected treats for which I was able to get photos were: Gray Jay: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Gray_Jay.jpg Spotted Sandpiper: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Spotted_Sandpiper.jpg An osprey with the first load of nesting material! http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Osprey1.jpg http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Osprey2.jpg The next day I did some more atlassing closer to home: Hermit Thrush: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Hermit_Thrush.jpg Mystery Bird #1 I never did see it, but recorded its call http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Mystery.mov Least Flycatcher: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Least_Flycatcher.jpg Oddly the Stokes CD does not seem to have the least flycatcher. Black-throated Green Warbler: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Black-throated_Green_Warbler.jpg Mystery Bird #2 This was sitting at the top of a tree at some distance, and the lighting was not the best. It appeared to be about the size of a robin. The song was fairly long and ended with what sounded to me like the word "video", Any guesses? http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Mystery_1.jpg http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Mystery_2.jpg http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Mystery_3.jpg Pat ========================================================================== Patrick Kelly Director of Computer Facilities ========================================================================== Faculty of Architecture and Planning Dalhousie University ========================================================================== PO Box 1000 Stn Central 5410 Spring Garden Road Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Canada Canada ========================================================================== Phone:(902) 494-3294 FAX:(902) 423-6672 E-mail:patrick.kelly@dal.ca ========================================================================== --Boundary_(ID_DzbMaJcnLtlatLnPuMKrqQ) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16441" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Patrick,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I put your mystery photo in photoshop and enlarged and highlighted it as much as I could and it clearly shows a white chest with dark spotting.
