Hi, Naturens subscribers. Sorry for list posting my note to Johnny. I 
have had a great weekend "hobbling about" Shelburne County. On Friday I 
saw lots of fog in both CSI and Pubnico! Saturday it was sunny in 
Shelburne and there was a good movement of warblers, and a few 
flycatchers. An Eastern Phoebe was "catching" from the wires at the 
Savannah going towards South Side. On Sunday between Shelburne and 
Pubnico an unusually  large number of Juncos along the roadside, and 
Grey Jays at the usual place near the fire tower. Plenty of Great Blue 
Herons behind the oil tanks in West Pubnico.
Monday, thanks to Johnny and Sandra, Aileen Smith and I had some good 
looks at Red Knots, Black-bellied Plovers at Dan'l's Head, and 
Dowitchers and peeps at the Guzzle. I left my scope in Cumb. Co. last 
June, so missed a lot, I'm sure. Earlier in the day there was a 
Hudsonian Godwit at the Guzzle, but we couldn't find the Marbled, nor 
did we see the lingering Oystercatchers. Ruddy Turnstones in various 
plumages were here and there. At the "forest " at South Side there was a 
Least Flycatcher, several Song Sparrows and a *Prothonatary Warbler* 
which just popped up and down twice. Lots of Am. Goldfinch, Red-winged 
Blackbirds, B-c Chickadees, R-b Nuthatches, and Juncos at feeders 
throughout the county; and a great many imm. Palm Warblers near 
Welshtown Lake park. J.Cz.
