On Saturday I went with my daughter on the Hfx Field Nat's trip to explore the
wild parts of a small river, the McIntosh Run, that flows roughly south from
Spryfield and near Herring Cove Road on the outskirts of Halifax.  When 
you get
off the main road it's a nice scrubby woodland area with trails.  The two
people who organized the trip are part of a small group trying to conserve the
river and adjacent woods against the encroachment of housing developments that
loom very large nearby.

When I asked, the organizers didn't seem to know if anyone competent had
surveyed the bird life there, so I thought I'd ask this group if anyone has
that area included in an atlas square, or if it is unsurveyed.  I vaguely
recall Hans Toom finding a wren behind a supermarket that would be near the
upper end of the run, so it could be him, but I think he unplugged 
himself from
this list a while back.  Does anyone know whetherthe McIntosh Run area 
has been
or is being surveyed for bird life (or anything else) by anyone?

I've just watched a brown creeper repeated climbing up one of our 
garden's trees
-- rather uncommon to see, here in this part of Hfx suburbia.
