Hi Everyone;
Five birders met at the APBS parking lot for the Nova
Scotia Bird Society Field Trip yesterday morning.
(Saturday, June 7th)
The weather was great; a little sun, a little cloud.
We tallied 49 species as we walked around the park,
and another 3 across the street in the John Lusby Salt
Marsh, bringing our total to 52 species for the day.
Highlights included:
Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail,
Green-winged Teal, Ring-necked Duck, Pied-billed
Grebe, American Bittern, Sora, American Coot, Hairy
Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, both Vireos, Cedar
Waxwings, Northern Parula, Yellow Warbler, Magnolia
Warbler, Cape May Warbler (heard only), Yellow-rumped
Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Black & White Warbler,
American Redstart, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat,
Swamp Sparrow and Bobolinks.
Many thanks to Kathleen Spicer who did a fabulous job
leading this trip.
On the way home, Joan Waldron, Hubert Boudreau and I
checked 206 East Victoria Street in Amherst for Purple
Martins. For the second year in a row, none had shown
up to use the nest boxes. The owner has now boarded
up the entrances to discourage Starlings and Tree
Swallows from taking over. We also took the old
Wentworth Road and stopped at Wentworth Park. No
Eastern Phoebe under the bridge this year, but we did
hear a Veery calling.
Cheers;
Suzanne Borkowski
