Hi there, This morning I drove downtown to go to the Halifax Farmer's Market. Before I even got out of my car I could hear a House Finch singing loudly near the Ralston Building on Hollis Street, and further along I heard a Yellow Warbler singing, apparently from the garden at Government House (the Lieutenant-Governor's residence). Later, on my way home, I was stopped in traffic on South Park Street, the Lord Nelson Hotel on my right and the Public Gardens on the left. I could hear a Blackpoll Warbler singing from one of the tall Lindens beside the Gardens. No chance to stop and look for it! House Finches are now common in downtown Halifax; they seem to find a home among the ornamental plantings around some of the larger buildings and the ferry terminal. The Yellow Warbler might stay, but the Blackpoll was certainly just passing through. Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax P.S. I heard my first Blackpoll Warbler of the year while walking to work on Tuesday morning (Cambridge and Geldert Streets). I haven't seen any reports of them on NatureNS?
