- at least 2 *Purple Martins* (heard on Highland Ave., one street below
Forest Hill). I was unable to go find these (dad duty), but I can tell that
they are perched or grounded, not flying around. According to current April
eBird reports they are nearly as northeast as Bangor, Maine and Trois
Rivieres, Quebec:
http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/map/purmar?neg=true&env.minX=-137.07075189393015&env.minY=4.808087376299438&env.maxX=3.554248106069849&env.maxY=54.509330173088934&zh=true&gp=false&mr=on&bmo=4&emo=4&yr=2013-2013&byr=2013&eyr=2013
- the most recent eBird record for this area is from James Hirtle in the
Canning area in April 29, 2007, but there must be some more recent local
records?
- I would guess these are likely migrants or overshoots (see Ian McLaren's,
*All the Birds of Nova Scotia*) as we have very few recent breeding records
in NS based on the Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas
- maybe someone can refind and confirm these

- 2 male *Yellow-rumped Warblers* in our yard (1 singing)

cheers,
James.
