Index of Subjects I found a dead juvenile woodcock on the highway this morning near Aylesford Lake, Kings county. It appeared to be about 7-10 days of age. Also noted Palm Warbler collecting large grubs to feed nestlings, indicating they must be well-advanced. ==================================== --- James Churchill <jameslchurchill@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi folks, > > It appears the AMERICAN WOODCOCK nesting in our back lot (between Hall's > Harbour and Centreville, NS) successfully fledged her young. > She had a final clutch of 4 eggs as of May 9th. > Today was Day 21 of incubation. > When I checked her this afternoon the nest site was undisturbed and 3 > relatively intact egg shells were present near the nest...no detectable sign > of a predation event. > Looks like she has helped the Maritimes population along a bit! > > We have some pictures of her incubating (just before clutch count) and of > the nest with eggs (taken during the clutch count) if anyone is > interested...pop me an email. > > James. > > -- > James Churchill > Centreville, Nova Scotia > jameslchurchill@gmail.com > mobile: (902) 698-3402 > home: (902) 681-2374
