<font size=3>Despite the lack of yesterday's super rarities, Jim &amp;
Don found a good selection of warblers &amp; vireos on a very quiet day
at Hartlen's Point. Liz has mentioned elsewhere that I found a
Philadelphia Vireo &amp; a Veery (that posed for me on the path ...yep,
no camera). I also flushed a Brown Thrasher &amp; saw a very dull O/C
Warbler. Other than that a few common warblers &amp; a few
Cuckoos.<br><br>
On my return to my vehicle, I encountered a Osprey on the power pole
opposite the nest stand. It was quite vocal &amp; by the way it glared at
me, I expected an attack. Did not happen but would have been a first for
me!! Perhaps others over the past few days have noted the odd behaviour
of this Osprey???<br><br>
I checked out Pleasant Hill Cemetery area (@1:30) but very, very,
quiet.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Jim Taylor and I birded Hartlens Pt
this morning.&nbsp; Although there was a <br>
flock of chickadees with accompanying warblers and vireos, none of the
<br>
rarities were seen.&nbsp; We did see Orange-crowned, Nashville, Magnolia,
Black <br>
and White and Black-throated Green Warblers as well as Philadelphia and
<br>
Red-eyed Vireos.&nbsp; I was able to get a photo of a Yellow-billed
Cuckoo.&nbsp; Near <br>
the transmission tower we had 16 Great&nbsp; Blue Herons circling around
above <br>
us.&nbsp; They were probably trying to decide if they should attempt
flying south <br>
today.<br><br>
I went over to Chebucto Head and Sandy Cove in the afternoon.&nbsp; It
was very <br>
quiet there.&nbsp; I did see a cuckoo perched which could have been a
<br>
Black-billed Cuckoo.&nbsp; There was very little white on the underside
of the <br>
tail.<br><br>
