I took a lady around a bit on August 14 from Winnipeg and ran into two nice groups of migrants. The first was along the Fauxburg Trail or the trail behind Mahone Bay. I had been there for only a short time the day before and had a nice group of birds. There were more on the 14th. The group included four red-breasted nuthatches, one Canada warbler, one yellow-rumped warbler, four red-eyed vireos, four Black & White Warblers, four black-capped chickadees, one ovenbird, three hairy woodpeckers, one black-throated green warbler, three northern parulas, one swamp sparrow, an eastern wood pewee, three common yellowthroats, one gray catbird, an American redstart, a ruby-throated hummingbird, one ruby-crowned kinglet and a few American goldfinches. The second area was along the Mahone Bay Trail in Clearland. This group included six black-capped chickadees, a red-eyed vireo, one common yellowthroat, one black-throated green warbler, two Black & White warblers, one blue-headed vireo, three red-eyed vireos, two magnolia warblers, three northern parulas, one blackburnian warbler, one swamp sparrow, one yellow warbler and a few other species. In Maitland, Lunenburg Co. on the 14th there were two wood ducks. At Prince's Inlet Drive there was an arctic tern. Yesterday on August 16, just past the Walmart in Bridgewater and approximately across from Cook's Falls there was a broad-winged hawk which was moulting. There were many feathers missing from both the tail and the wings. At Cherryfield I found an American Kestrel and a red-tailed hawk. Today in the pond beside the turn off to Cherry Hill Beach there was a wood duck. Various shorebirds were at many locations. I went to Keji Seaside Adjunct today. It was very quiet with just one catbird, one alder flycatcher, groups of common yellowthroats, and yellow warblers. Seven whimbrels were present along with two spotted sandpipers and a number of other shorebird species which I will sent in for a shorebird survey. 127 double-crested cormorants were at the adjunct. We also saw a Northern Harrier. Nine common nighthawks were at Liverpool. James R.
