Did a whirlwind tour of NS this week, with not much time for birding.  
However, did find a late WHIMBREL at Hawk Point, Cape Sable Island on 
Oct. 17th, as well as a RED-EYED VIREO.  Probably not even remotely late 
nor unusual for this part of the province, but the latest of either I've 
ever seen in the Maritimes.

At the family farm in Mill Brook (on the north side of the Cobequids) an 
adult NORTHERN SHRIKE sang a beautiful song the afternoon of Oct. 15th.  
Atop Nuttby Mountain, I heard then saw a male PINE GROSBEAK calling in 
flight (reminded me of a goldfinch) Oct. 19th.  Oddly perhaps, it was 
heading to NW.
