Hello All,
A very birdy place here at the airport over the last couple of days:
-8 common nighthawks flying over.
-1 N kestral hunting over the grassy areas.
-7 killdeer. These used to be regular here several years ago, having nested.
This includes the year they nested on the gravel roof of the office
structure
attached to the Air Canada hangar where I work. These 7 are the first I've
seen in 3 or 4 years. As far as I could tell, they were all adults, just
passing
through and not locals.
-several barn swallows and cliff swallow hawking for insects over the newly
cut
grass. The barn swallow nest in the Air Canada cargo building and probably
elsewhere on the airport. The Cliff swallows are tending 31 nests built
under
the eves of 2 different I.M.P. hangars. The Cliff swallow arrived on time,
the
later part of the second week of May, and the young will probably fledge
over
the next week if they follow the past history here.
-This week I saw one adult Common Loon with one fledgling on Miller's Lake
while driving to work from Dartmouth. This would be breeding confirmation
for this square which I think "belongs" to the Paysants.
Cheers,
Dennis Hippern (DHH)
