This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_x6FAfldjsQMQN+Uqn8gAZg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT The Ipswich Sparrow remains at Duncan Reef, HRM, despite favourable departure winds. It's a skittish bird, probably because it's a lost leader. Last week there was an Eastern Kingbird at Ketch Harbour. I neglected to report it but it is uncommon to rare out this way. I see one hereabouts every 3-4 years, or so. I searched for the Solitary Sandpiper at Sandy Cove's beach today without success, but there are still about 40 shore birds present; three Greater Yellowlegs, two Spotted Sandpipers and about three dozen mixed Semipalmated Plovers, Semipalmated Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers. There are bunches of Northern Flickers and American Robins all over this area. I was unable to confirm a probable Prairie Warbler due to failing light this evening at Sandy Cove but look for it if your down there tomorrow. It was flycatching from the trees and wires near the house. It had a bright yellow chest and underparts, with much tail bobbing. It could have been a bright Palm Warbler.
