Hello- naturens chatters - Most of us have noticed a serious decline in birds which are aerial feeders. In spite of the number of Swallow reports recently, swallows are in decline in recent years. Another aerial feeder, the Whip-poor will, has just been recommended by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada ( COSEWIC) to be added , along with the Horned Grebe, as a Species at Risk in Canada. Amateur naturalists have a role to play in assuring continuing study and protection of all native species. Please continue to post notes of sighting ( giving the location and dates) of these two birds, as well as Barn Swallows and others, for the benefit of those who are collecting data. Roseate Tern has been reconfirmed as Endangered, and Least Bittern ( which we have here as a rare visitor) is reconfirmed as threatened in Canada. I am moving on June 30 to #11 Balcome Drive Hfx, B3N 1H9. I'll then be off the chat line until September, but if you are in Port Greville please give me a call! Have a wonderful summer everyone. Joan
