Hello all,=20
=20
As others noted, the weather Saturday (May 10) was not very conducive for=
the migration count, and I got only about 46 species this year. In Digby =
Co., the 35-40 km/hr NE wind made it seem much colder than the official 6 d=
egrees, and kept most insectivores out of sight - no swallows, flycatchers,=
and only four warbler species (Yellow-rumped, Palm, Black-throated Green, =
and one Magnolia) were observed in my area from Digby to Culloden. There =
were no really rare species; four Turkey Vultures drifting westward by Mt. =
Pleasant were interesting, as were 4 White-crowned Sparrows at feeders in t=
he area - a species that I almost never get at home.
=20
Athough I am not sure of their current status in NS, a highlight for me w=
as a pair of House Finches occupying the shrubs in front of 33 Lighthouse R=
d. in Digby. These are easily viewed from the road, but there are no spots=
nearby to pull off except driveways. I have seen few records of the speci=
es away from Halifax and Yarmouth in recent years, and this was new for my =
Digby Co. life list.

Good birding,
