I did some atlass= ing in my square which lies between Woodstock=2C NS and Walden. This is th= e Caribou Lake Square on the 16th after work. I was pleased to find my fir= st Baybreasted warbler for the year there. I also was able to upgrade two = other species and finally catch a black-throated green warbler carrying foo= d. I must say that in my travels over the years and especially this year i= n this square that I've seen more Blackburnian warblers then I ever thought= possible in one area. This square has them everywhere that I stop and the= y are by far the most prominant warbler. I've yet to catch one carrying fo= od or to get this species at the highest level of breeding. =20 =20 Now for my signs of migration. I came across a large flock of migrants tha= t evening. At one location I observed two hairy woodpeckers=2C a northern = flicker=2C a blue-headed vireo=2C a red-eyed vireo=2C a black-throated gree= n warbler=2C 10 black-capped chickadees=2C a golden-crowned kinglet=2C a da= rk-eyed junco=2C three blackburnian warblers=2C a yellow-rumped warbler=2C = a white-throated sparrow=2C a magnolia warbler=2C along with I assume none = migrant magnolia warbler=2C yellow-rumped warbler=2C a family group of dark= -eyed juncos=2C hermit thrushes=2C and to my memory my first ever female ba= ybreasted warbler. Thinking back over the years=2C I never really thought = about it before now=2C but I've only ever seen male baybreasted warblers. = The female was right in front of me at ground level feeding=2C which threw = me off and I could not figure out what warbler I was seeing at first. At l= east that is the only warbler that I can figure out that it might have been= . It was sort've beige in colour with two prominant white wing bars and a = distinct brown along the sides. It matches up with the female baybreasted = warbler anyhow in National Geographic. =20 =20 I noticed my first flock of American robins flying last night. =20 Also=2C last night over Bridgewater were two common nighthawks. =20 James R.
