Index of Subjects Here at Hall's Harbour on the North Mountain, we're usually some days behind the valley when it comes to warblers. As well, the variety isn't as great. Not as varied a habitat, I suppose. But to my surprise this morning I had N. Parula, Magnolia, Black throated Green and Yellow-rumped, all in the space of a few minutes, just standing in one spot. For the first time in my 13 years living here, Grackles visit every day. I don't think I ought to link this to global warming, although it might be an indicator to people who measure such things.
