This comes from the Manitoba Birds list.  It has no Nova Scotian 
content (although of course Olive-sided Flycatchers do breed here), 
but some things are just too good not to share ...

Subject: It Paid Off- an Olive-sided Flycatcher

I took the top 16 ft of a dead white spruce tree, dug a hole at the edge of my
pond, and stuck'er in. My wife thought I was nuts but a pond has to 
have a dead
tree overlooking it, doesn't it?


Anyway, an Olive-sided flycatcher fluttered into the ditch nearby 
today, picked
off what looked like a bumble bee, landed up top the spruce, bashed 
it around a
bit and gobble'er down. That's the first Olive-s flycather that I seen around
here in years.
