All:

Before we found LITTLE EGRET on a pond across the hi'way from the Lawrencetown,
beachhous, HRM,  a visiting Australian colleague and I found a Baird's
Sandpiper at hi tide (as earlier, near the small stream on the harbourside
beach) at Hartlen Pt along with scores of peeps - including a surprising near
majority of White-rumped Sandpipers.

Later, we stopped to scout a bit of bird action along the road shortly before
reaching Sambro. We had a nice flurry of warblers, including N. Parula, Yellow,
Chestnut-sided, MAgnolia, "Myrtle" (hang on to that, they'll be split off
again)B-t Green, Palm, Blackpoll, Bl.-&-White, Am. Redstart, Com. Yellowthroat.
These were both adults and juveniles, moving through - clearly a stopover
flock.

I agree, though, that a bicycle would have been more fun.

Cheers, Ian

Ian McLaren
