Got a late start and missed the dawn chorus. Goal was to check out some of the under-atlassed north-western Guysborough squares. My route ran from Plymouth-Bridgeville- Sunnybrae-Caledonia- Glenelg-and to the Lead Mine road just south of the Liscomb River-Seloams L-Trafalgar Rd- Hopewell to home. The area was somewhat quiet and the exercise became mostly a scouting of roads for future atlassing visits. However, I did come up with a few returning migrants. At Bridgeville, I had singing EASTERN PHOEBES near 2 diffferent bridges. In the Battery L. square I noted an AMERICAN KESTREL in suitable habitat. I had a quick daylight look of the area near Caledonia where we had the Saw-whet Owl calling on our BBS route, but I did not come up with a nest hole. Caledonia- Smithfield was finch-rich. with Evening Grosbeaks, Purple Finches, and Pine Siskins with the usual Goldfinches. A male White-winged Crossbill was near the Lower Caledonia bridge.En route through this area, I had 2 WINTER WRENS, 1 RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, 4 YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS, 12 FLICKERS and a pair of American Kestrels. I noted Mayflowers had joined the Colstfoot in bloom along the road shoulders and trails. It was hard to come up with much in the Liscomb River area- 2m. Ring-necked Ducks and one Lake and 5 Common Mergansers on another. Near Honeymoon Bog in the north end of the Sanctuary. I observed a pair of courting OSPREY cheers Ken --Boundary_(ID_m9Hq/TdsuBSQ2eIG0VHSXw) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18904"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><BR>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Tried a hand at atlassing in the wind Sunday, Apr. 11.
