After having really great looks at the Great Crested flycatcher pair. One
collected the fluff to make a nest in the nestbox and caught flies in the
air. Many thanks to Adora Parsons and Pat Giffin...
Afterwards, I walked around the Fundy Basin Trail for the first time.
Richard Stern has reported the trail a few times in recent months so I
wanted to see it for myself. Today was a good excuse to go. No question
that it was one great place to visit. Spent two hours watching and studying
birds before having to leave for home. Many thanks to Lois Jenkins and
Sharon Hawboldt for reporting the ruddy duck to Nature NS. Birds sighted
(large pond) were:
1 male Ruddy duck in full breeding plumage (its beak was so blue in the
sun!)
1 Coot
6? shovellers
4 wood ducks
4 green winged teals
2 gadwalls
? American widgeons (not positive)
6 Pied billed grebes (with chicks)
barn swallows (few)
tree swallows
cliff swallows
possible bank swallow
Cheers, liz
