Last evening it returned still as skittish as before but I had = done some home work and was able to confirm it was a not so bright = female Western Tanager. I wasn't able to view it through my bino's for = more than a few seconds at 30' but the 1-2 min at 8 feet earlier on the = deck feeder was more than enough to nail it down. As shown in the Large = Sibley's' the bright adult female but with the pale adult females' = lighter back and lighter wing bars. but the belly was as bright as the = bright ones. It's been a few years since we had seen one here at our = feeders it's nice to see one back around again. While keeping a good watch this evening around supper time when the W = Tanager has shown up (not tonight) I finally was able to see all three = WC Sparrows feeding here all at once. 1- W. + 2 E. Taiga. A large movement of birds arrived on the 7th mostly returning Juncos, = Tree Swallows, YR, and Palm Warblers. Followed by flocks of Barn = Swallows on the 8th. With the arrivals on the 7th was a Little Blue = Heron in little Dover. and a Sand hill Crane at the usual location in = Canso. Th LB Heron was last seen on the 13th and the sandhill left due = to disturbance from heavy equipment (60-70 yards away) on the 12th. It's been a busy spring for Vultures for these parts. Several individual = TV's were spotted over and over since the middle of April. This was = punctuated on April 26th by a flock of 11 T. Vultures seen first over = Durells Island and then moving along towards The Hazel Hill Area and = then out of view to the West (fide Tom K.). Steady sightings over the = next two weeks again with 6 TV's again by me on May 7th. Just a few up dates of more notable birds.
