This morning a large adult accipiter (blue-grey back and reddish-brown underparts; close to crow-sized: long rounded tail; broad straight wings; shallow, stiff wing-beat) flew across McWilliam Road South in Onslow, Colchester Co., scattering pigeons and crows as it went - about as good a Cooper's Hawk as I have seen for some time (and maybe my first in spring in NS). There were few geese in the area - all Canadas and only about 300 in a few scattered groups, mainly in the Lower Onslow-Masstown area, all south of Hwy 2 in mowed fields. A male Gadwall was with other ducks in the pond across Hwy 2 from the S end of Crowe's Mill Road. Robins were abundant: hundreds in flocks of 50+ along roads between Onslow and Masstown. They seem to have arrived en masse.
