All:
Here's a clarification received this a.m. of breeding records f N. Wheatear in
NL.
Jim Cameron has just sent several photos taken yesterday of the N. Wheatear at
Taylors Head PP. It's a female, and it's still worth looking for a possible
nesting.
Does anyone know if the CSI bird this spring was a male or female?
Cheers, Ian McLaren

Hi Ian,
Just a quick reponse to your posting on the NS RBA newsgroup which I read
this morning ...
There is a caveat to the breeding Wheatear in Newfoundland -- it was a one
time occurence following a ver yuvery unusual spring influx that saw dozens
of Wheatears arrive on the Avalon Peninsula due to some unusual prevailing
weather patterns. Its unusual enough to see two Wheatears together here, let
alone have two decide to stake it out and breed. It has not happened since,
and there have been no subsequent breeding records south of Black Tickle,
Labrador.
That being said, you are right to suggest its worth keeping an eye out for -
if it happened once, it can happen again.
Cheers (and hope you're having a better start to summer in NS than we are
here!!),
Jared
