They could be = heard from Trout Lake Road between the two bridges at the north end=2C near= the (unmarked) boat launch areas. Any of you who have tried know how diff= icult singing Pine Warblers can be to see=2C but these were the first that = I had heard singing in N. S.=2C and I know how variable the trills of simil= ar-sounding species can be=2C so I was determined to see it. For those who= do not know them=2C they typically sing hidden in the canopy of tall pines= =2C not moving until you see a tiny form flying away. The song is intermed= iate between that of a junco and a Swamp Sparrow or Palm Warbler (probably = closest to that of an Orange-crowned Warbler=2C if that helps any). Anyway= =2C after about 90 minutes of waiting and searching=2C I managed to get a l= ook at one and confirm its identity. =20 It was a surprise for me to find them here=2C nearly in the centre of th= e Province=2C although I have long expected to find them (and not succeeded= ) in the red pine (Pinus resinosa) stands of sandy areas in the Annapolis V= alley. Have they been found in summer elsewhere in the Province? Wayne P.
