Hi all:
 
Birding was slow yesterday, with no real rarities and only 28 species that I could find in five hours.  The best grouping of birds was on the Lunenburg Back Harbour Trail.

Not listed here was a sizeable group of common grackles at First South and there were also some red-winged blackbirds with them.  I found out about a new eagle nest location in First South, so I'll have to keep an eye on it next year.  The pair are still present around the nest.  
 
On Sept. 23 or thereabouts John Robart captured a picture of an osprey still on the nest at Mason's Beach.  This was a bird that hatched out late and it is the juvenile, which has fledged, but was still present.
