I forgot to report the=A010 or so American Goldinches, also=A0visiting the =
feeders, the brightly coloured males chasing each other around. Their yello=

Hello All,
=A0
The OC Warbler seems not to be in any hurry to head off for his summer bree=
ding grounds and is appearing daily for morning meal worms anyway. But I se=
e him around during the day, either on the ground, or checking out what's l=
urking in amongst the new buds emerging on the trees. Perhaps he might stay=
? Are there records of them nesting in Nova Scotia?
Several Northern Flickers, a male Northern Cardinal, Downy, Hairy Woodpecke=
rs, Grackles, Robins, BC Chickadees, Song Sparrows, House Sparrows, Blue Ja=
ys, and the ever-present Starlings, Pigeons, Crows & Squirrels.
=A0
Yesterday, at Sullivan's Pond, there were 2 turtles in the same location as=
=A0where I saw a Red-eared Slider=A0several weeks ago, one a little smaller=
 than the other. I did not have my binoculars, so could not see the marking=
s on their heads.
=A0
On a side-note, I just returned from Cuba, where I noted the great many Hou=
se Sparrows and Northern Mockingbirds. Saw my 1st Ani, Groove-billed, I ass=
ume, because of its size, Magnificent Frigate Birds soaring high in the sky=
, lots of Vultures, many different Gulls and Terns, a small egret type bird=
 (looked exactly like a Bittern, the way it stood), pure white with beige b=
reast & beige crown, and a number of Warblers and odd lizards=A0with tails =
were=A0held in a=A0tight coil over their back.
I got a real surprise to see a Hummingbird that was nesting in an ornamenta=
l Palm tree right in the busiest area of the hotel lobby! (the lobby's wall=
s were all glass doors, most of which were opened to the outdoors) Wasn't t=
he least bit phased by all the commotion of all the people around it and ce=
rtainly didn't mind=A0having it's picture taken! From my Sibley's I believe=
 it was a Magnificent Hummingbird. You could have reached up and touched it=
!
