Index of Subjects hi all, Ive been hearing pewees in north berwick/somerset/welsford area for about the past two weeks, and consistently heard one in at least 5 forest patches in the area, but i havent noticed any neighbouring (adjacent to each other) territories so far. **From what people remember, is this low density typical for EAWPs in the valley/NS area? (Based on BBS i see that they are showing a significant decline across canada in the last 10 yr, and a non-significant increase in NS over same period) james.
