JUNE 9, 2010 - In Canning, I checked out the raven nest just west of  
Merritt Gibson's big brown house on Main St., and there were 2 very  
large fledglings still in/on the nest, and the 2 noisy flying adults  
were also evident.

Conspicuously in bloom throughout Canning are lots of Umbelliferous  
plants with flat white inflorescences, and soon I realized that good  
old goutweed was at its peak.

In Harris' Pond in Canning, I heard but couldn't see a calling pied- 
billed grebe and saw a male wood duck, while I was examining 25+  
basking painted turtles -- but I couldn't see any turtles that were  
larger or otherwise different from the painted turtles.  However, we  
should all continue to look for the large possibly Blanding's turtle  
that was seen there back in April by James Hirtle and David Alward.

Also blue flags (irises) were in bloom in the marsh there.

Also I heard Am. redstarts singing, and I saw a yellow warbler  
carrying food already.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
