Hi all
Jean McGee passed on news that someone from Heatherton ( Antigonish Co.) had sent her a photo  of a male INDIGO BUNTING taken April 14 at a Heatherton feeder.  

Rick Ferguson, Charlie Kendall and I ran route 14 Owl survey route last night  ( Sunny Brae-Caledonia). There was not much to report. We heard only 1 distant Barred Owl, 3 American Woodcock and 3-4 Wood Frogs. There were however lots of jets to study!  The route has become a waste-land and is now almost totally cut-over. It traverses through the area burned in the Trafalgar fire (late 1970's ) which had been replanted with pine and other conifers. This is even now being harvested in a cut-over method. Not a great owl habitat. 

No Spring Peepers were heard last night, but as I took in my feeders this evening (April 15) I heard Peepers from the old Westray mine site behind my house in Plymouth- my first for this spring.  
When we arrived back to my place last night there were 2 Racoons at my feeders and 2 Deer in the yard heading in the direction of the feeders.
