--00151747858251b49204a4e0a4d4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Over the past few weeks I've been out audio recording Hermit Thrush for research in the Blue Mtn area near Halifax, and around the Terence Bay wilderness area (access from Brookside). A few interesting observations: Olive-sided Flycatcher last night in a clear-cut adjacent near the logging road that is part of the Blue Mtn trail. Several Nighthawks flying overhead last night on the Blue Mtn trail. Canada Warbler this morning on a footpath near the end of Brookside Road (close to Moosehorn Lake). I've heard Saw-whets on the Blue Mtn trail on several nights (just after dusk), and a Great Horned Owl early one morning. There is also a pair of Barred Owls near the end of Brookside Rd, heard before even getting on the trails into the wilderness area. Lots of the typical birds in both areas, too. Blue Mtn has loads of Ovenbirds, Black-throated Green, Black and White, Magnolia, etc... The boreal area near Brookside has a bit of a different mix, but lots of the same, as you might expect. This morning we heard Least Flycatcher, Winter Wren, Boreal Chickadee, etc... Hermit Thrush, the focus of my efforts, are quite common in Blue Mtn, and maybe not as densely packed in the Terence Bay Wilderness area close to Brookside. I have several pairs of Purple Finches around my yard in Brookside as well (maybe three pairs). They makes lots of noise all day long, and I saw one of the males doing its mating dance/ritual the other day--pretty entertaining! -- Jeff MacLeod Brookside, NS --00151747858251b49204a4e0a4d4 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Over the past few weeks I've been out audio recording Hermit Thrush for= research in the Blue Mtn area near Halifax, and around the Terence Bay wil= derness area (access from Brookside).
