Dorothy Poole and I today had were privileged to be allowed to see a summer tanager in Middle LaHave. This bird has been present for two days now and is still changing from a young bird into an adult in regards to plumage. It is a male. The property owner has kindly consented to let others come and see this bird. He would like you to call first so that you can be updated if it is still there and also so that he knows the numbers of people who will be coming. His name is Glen Durnford and his phone number is 766-4582. I've left out the house number so that people do not show unannounced. I forgot to mention that at Cherry Hill yesterday was a male and female northern shoveler. This is the first time I have personally seen this species there. Other birds of note was a report of a white-crowned sparrow in Lunenburg. A report of an orchard oriole, which was at Broad Cove for four days feeding at a hummingbird feeder. I was not contacted until yesterday and the bird was not seen today. I went to see if it might still be around but was unsuccessful in finding it. I did find my first Nashville warbler of this year there though. Another report came from Rose Bay of an Eastern towhee, which was present for two days, but has not left. Baltimore orioles have been reported over the last week to me from various locations. Today Dorothy and I were very pleased to find a number of new year birds. We had a nice selection of warblers and other species at Mush-A-Mush Beach along the roadside there. We had between there and the Upper Northfield area: Blackburnian Warblers 2 (one male and one female) Black-throated Green Warblers 13 Northern Parula 10 Magnolia Warbler 1 Ovenbird 3 Black & White Warbler 4 Yellow Warbler 2 Yellow-rumped Warbler 7 Over Sucker Lake, one Wilson's Snipe At Upper Northfield, one white-crowned sparrow A chipping sparrow was at Upper Northfield Least Flycatchers 5 In all we had 54 species and I added four or five more species to that this evening.
