--Apple-Mail-159--708675885 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm not on NatureNS right now; but would you please forward this response? The square containing McIntosh Run, as well as Spryfield, Purcell's Cove, Ferguson's Cove, Herring Cove, Bear Cove, and a fair portion of McNab's Island, was originally assigned to Jennifer LeBlanc Doucette, who got married and moved to Saskatchewan. It was subsequently reassigned to Gavin Charles who has yet to report any sightings. Several excellent birders have done some work in this square over the last three years including Fulton Lavender (who lives in it), Hans Toom, Bob McDonald, myself, and others. It now has a total of 65 reported species - but it could certainly use more work. If someone on this list is interested in taking this square over, please contact me: Suzanne Borkowski Regional Coordinator - Region 20: Chebucto-Musquodoboit suzanneborkowski@yahoo.ca 445-2922 On Nov 10, 2008, at 4:16 PM, Stephen Shaw wrote: > 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.
