Hi everyone:

I was atlassisg today in 20LQ77 Murphy Lake, south of Kentville, and  
got my first black-throated blue warbler today, a male with fledged  
young even!

One house had 11 cliff swallow nests around all four sides, there is a  
big pond and a grassy field next to it, so lots of mud and bugs. It  
turns out you can see the pond and driveway an one of the provinces  
highway webcams.

There were about two dozen of them flying around and going in and out  
feeding the young.

Right across the street a woman showed me inside her parent's barn..  
they had about the same number of barn swallow nests!

Lastly, I was at a small pond that was surrounded by alder, golden  
rod, and other small shrubs that were in water so walking through the  
area was not an option. There was a flycatcher singing, and I was at  
least able to get close enough to record it, as I only got a few  
glimpses of its back, as it was on the "water" side.

It sounds like a willow because it puts an extra note before the "free  
beer" call. never having heard one, I thought that someone who can  
tell them apart might give an opinion.

Thanks as always!
