Monday May 5 /08
Palmeter Woods (west Kentville) rang with songs of Robins, many, many
Yellow-rumped Warblers, Black-capped Chickadees and Blue Jays. Then, there's
always that added thrill, hearing the fluting notes of the first-of-the
season Hermit Thrush echoing through the woods... Not far behind came the
sweet "O Canada, Canada" song of the Wh-thr. Sparrows, and the cheerful Song
Sparrow's. From the river and stream areas, calls from Willet, Swamp
Sparrow and Gtr Yellowlegs, Grackles and Red-w. Blackbirds.
Fresh arrivals were Blue-headed Vireo and a Magnolia Warbler. At one point I
thought I heard a Nashville Warbler in the distance too but it did not
re-offer its song. A small flock of Pine Siskins arrived. Both nuthatches,
flickers and Downy Woodpeckers spent their time flitting from tree to tree
searching for food, while a couple of male Purple Finch were trying to
out-compete each other with their warbles.
A busy morning for many... A short but delightful woodland walk for me.
