  Hi,


  Rick Whitman and I did some exploring this morning, starting with nice =
looks at the Eastern Phoebe presumably nesting as usual under the White =
Rock Bridge.=20

  We then went to East Point, Grand Pre, where there were Savannah =
Sparrows singing, and 2 G.B.Herons flying across from Boot Island. No =
Shorebirds yet.


  Yesterday I bumped into Patrick Kelly, who told me about Akin Marsh, =
near Falmouth. I had never been there before, so we went. There's a nice =
trail through the woods, with good looks at some marshy ponds at a =
couple of spots. We had some nice Spring migrants, including very close =
looks at 2 Hermit Thrushes, also 2 bright Palm Warblers, at least 6 =
Swamp Sparrows singing, a Sapsucker, and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, plus a =
singing Brown Creeper. We also watched a Beaver swim close to its lodge.


  We then did the whole traverse of Mines and Butler Roads, from =
Falmouth to the New Ross Road - mainly to see if I could get through for =
my owl survey. The road is a long, rough, logging road that is very =
potholed and soft in places, and very remote if you get stuck - but we =
made it. We saw some pretty vigorous Beaver activity along the route, =
with large trees felled, and another Beaver by the bridge near the end. =
We didn't stop much, but did see a pair of Hooded Mergansers, several =
more Hermit Thrushes fly across, Robins and a soaring Bald Eagle. It's a =
great road to bird in late May/ June.


  We heard many choruses of Spring Peepers and also Wood Frogs.



  Richard
