Hello Wayne:
I do not know whether you received my earlier e-mail via NatureNS ( it may
have disappeared into cyber space as I cannot find any evidence that it went
out) that Rebecca Ellis had 4 House Finches in the NAMC count, in the town
of DIGBY back in 2003, which also fell on May 10th that year. She found
them in an area close to the home she was living in at the time. I have no
record of the name of her Digby street location.
She had heard that there had been some in that area but was quite surprised
to find them for the count, thinking maybe someone had been mistaken about
their id. She does not know what happened to them after she returned to Bear
River the following year. Sorry, I have no record of the name of her Digby
street location.
Rebecca can be reached at her home in Bear River - 902-467-3596 if you
wish to contact her.
Cheers,
Judy

Subject: [NatureNS] House Finch, Digby, Migration Day Count
Hello all,
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
degrees, 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
the area - a species that I almost never get at home.
Athough I am not sure of their current status in NS, a highlight for me
was a pair of House Finches occupying the shrubs in front of 33 Lighthouse
Rd. 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 species
away from Halifax and Yarmouth in recent years, and this was new for my
Digby Co. life list.
Good birding,
Wayne Neily
