I have been interested in the recent posts about the scarlet tanager, =
that seem to suggest that they are a new visiter to the province, not =
seen before recent times. I have only ever seen two, but the first was =
in the Hubley  pasture in Bear River about 1943.  We used to set rabbit =
snares there in those days - this was before I was allowed to carry a 22 =
rifle, which I began to carry in 1945, so the date of 1943 must be =
nearly correct. This land is now owned by the Pecks, you go up past the =
old ice pond, turn left and there is a place there where there was once =
an old house, and the bird was in the clearing among the tall trees - an =
unforgettable experience.
       The second tanager I saw was years after that in New Brunswick - =
at Woodstock. I used to go for a walk each day it was fine, and saw a =
variety of birds not common here in Shelburne County. Among them was a =
beautiful bright tanager  with a nest in a tall tree on the steep =
side-hill.. I would guess that was about 1998.
