Hello! I'm a graduate student from the University of Lethbridge working in the Burg lab (http://people.uleth.ca/~theresa.burg/research.htm), studying the evolution and dispersal of high latitude birds. I'll be in Nova Scotia in late May, hoping to band and take small blood samples from Gray Jays, Boreal Chickadees, Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers, and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. I've looked online at eBird.org for sightings, but know that not everyone reports there. I'm currently applying for permits and need to decide what areas to sample in the next week or so. My question for you fine folks, if you'd like to share, is where the best spots are to look for these species in northern/central Nova Scotia? A fellow grad student and I will be flying into Halifax and then spending 2 weeks or so around Amherst, Truro and areas and into southern New Brunswick. Many of the eBird sightings suggest that we'll find most of our target species in this area, or down around Bridgewater/Lunenburg area. Are these good places to look for these species? Or are there better places to find them? We can catch these birds at feeders, so urban areas are certainly an option; we're not looking into habitat requirements. Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, you can reach me at linda.lait@uleth.ca or via phone at 403.332.5213.
