Jerry Lawrence Provincial Park is a premier warbler park, possibly the =
best in Nova Scotia, although I certainly have not been to every =
location. Bold talk you say, well here's this morning's 90 minute =
warbler tally; Nashville, Northern Parula, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, =
Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, Palm, =
Black-and-White, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush and Canada, a total of =
12 species. Some of these warblers are two to three weeks early. I =
started my walk at 9:30AM which is normally quitting time for me had I =
been serious about this effort.

The Northern Waterthrush and Canada Warbler are special to this area and =
both males were singing on suitable habitat so I won't release the =
location of these birds since any disturbance now may cause these males =
to move on.

Other notable attendees included; Indigo Bunting(1m, 3f), Red-eyed and =
Blue-headed Vireos, Broad-winged Hawk, Swamp Sparrow and Common Loon.

The good folks at the Five Bridges Heritage Trust(I am a former board =
member and current advisor) had talked of creating a Friends of Jerry =
Lawrence Provincial Park Society. It should be done since this place is =
special and requires public protection. Two projects spring to mind; =
creating a barrier free access from the main park to the St. Margaret's =
Bay Trail and interpretative bird signage in the picnic/parking area.

Hans

PS: I am not a suitable candidate to lead the Friends of Jerry Lawrence =
Provincial Park Society
