--20cf307d067827c8d404c77564b8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 hi folks, A few recent observations around Kings County: Thursday, 17 August ------------------------------ - 12:45 pm: Adult *Northern Mockingbird *on telephone wires at roadside in front of Kingstec main building (Belcher Street, *Kentville*; likely same individual/s reported in July). This was a drive-by and I did not have a chance to look for young - 12:00 pm *Mourning Dove* *nest building* by *Port Williams* skating pond (north side of Belcher Street, west of road to sewage ponds). BNA online suggests breeding can occur late into August but is not explicit about dates in our region. - ~10:30 am: Kentville Research Station Ravine (32 Main st): several *Eastern Wood Pewee*, fledgling *Bald Eagle*, 8 *Ruby-throated Hummingbirds*, *Sharp-shinned Hawk.* Thursday, 17 Aug and Friday, 18 Aug ------------------------------------------------------ - a/the pair of *Great Crested Flycatchers* is still hanging around our neighbourhood (28 Forest Hill Rd, *Kentville*). Early in the season, Devin Johnstone originally reported these as nest building in a box in his backyard (Chester Ave; failed attempt). We have both observed them periodically in the neighbourhood over the past couple of months. They are easy to detect by walking the streets here as they are frequently vocalizing (beware Starling song "recycling"/mimicry). Last night, the pair was vocalizing next door to me, and this morning the pair was foraging and vocalizing in the canopy in our back yard for a few minutes around 7 am. No sign of young to date. cheers, James. -- James Churchill Kentville, Nova Scotia Email: jameslchurchill@gmail.com Phone (h): (902) 681-2374 Skype: jameslchurchill --20cf307d067827c8d404c77564b8 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div>hi folks, </div> <div>A few recent observations around Kings County: </div> <div>=A0</div> <div>Thursday, 17 August</div> <div>------------------------------</div> <div>-=A012:45 pm: Adult <strong>Northern Mockingbird </strong>on telephone= wires at roadside in front of Kingstec main building (Belcher Street, <str= ong>Kentville</strong>; likely same individual/s=A0reported in July).
