Actually,Billy Digout helped me out by giving me his postal code for St.Peter's 
and I submitted it there..which is much closer to where I am.But they wouldn't 
take my Baltimore oriole because it wasn't on their list,I did mention it in the 
comment box below but they said that any birds mentioned there would not be 
included in the list.Maybe because it's not usually around this time of year?

In your case, I presume, that may be Port Hawkesbury. This is not very precise because rural routes may be up to 50 or more km long, but for mapping purposes it does place the observations you report in the right district of Nova Scotia.
