This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0021_01CE01EE.E487EAC0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Saturday, February 2, 2013 Found a Meadlowlark, most likely Lillian's Eastern??, at the last farm on Chebogue Point Road. Saw it flying low towards the barn and then disappearing behind it. Its flight pattern was characteristic of a meadlowlark. It was bigger than starlings. It had a pale, streaky back and had a short tail with white outer feathers. It was clearly NOT a sparrow, pipit, blackbird, or longspur. It's the same place where a few bluebirds were found a few years ago. The Yarmouth and Pubnico locals should check it out. And it was the first time I have ever seen starlings sitting on the back of bulls at the same farm. ........ Did not see the Golden Eagle. The lighting was not ideal to scope the Cape Light and rocky islands due to the annoying mirage. Johnny Nickerson said it is still there, but moving around so it takes a while to see it at the right place at the right time. The nice consolation was brants flying low in a V formation. No luck with the bluebirds on Wyman Road near Yarmouth, but it was getting late. It was cold and windy. Did some birding in SW Nova Scotia and saw some good birds including the Dickcissel, turkey vultures, purple finches, and house finches.
