On Friday afternoon, there was a good-sized flock of geese, gulls, crows an=
d ducks on a recently-cut cornfield on the Garden Road (near Belnan). I loo=
ked hard, but didn't see any unusual waterfowl, however there was a killdee=
r in with them. By Saturday, the corn must have all been cleaned out, becau=
se the field was empty.=0A=0ASaturday morning I led my first birding field =
trip at the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park, taking a small group around the wet=
land trails out behind the Greenwing Legacy Center. It went very well, and =
there were a few good birds - the highlight for me was my first-ever Yellow=
-breasted Chat, but sadly I was the only one who saw it since it quickly di=
sappeared into the bushes. A Greater Yellowlegs made a noisy appearance and=
gave everyone good views, and a pair of pintails in amongst the mallards w=
as nice to see. There were also good numbers of songbirds, with two common =
yellowthroats and a yellow-rumped warbler in with a chickadee/kinglet flock=
. The sparrows were particularly cooperative, with song, swamp and white-th=
roated sparrows in plain view and even sitting side by side for comparison!=
In two hours we counted 28 species, including a merlin sitting beside the =
parking lot and of course, a bald eagle.=0A=0AKathleen MacAulay=0AMilford S=
