--047d7b34363aadcda504debc9dba Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We had the BNS field trip around the Miner's Marsh trail in Kentville and then along the rail bed trail a little way to the east this morning. The group was small, but full of expertise, on many aspects of nature, from trees to birds to insects to fungi - made it a really interesting 3 hours. From a birder's point of view, there weren't many species, but we heard a Sora, a Common Yellowthroat, and a Baltimore oriole, and saw a number of Catbirds, 3 E.Kingbirds, Yellow warblers and adult Crows feeding begging young, many Red-winged blackbirds including a nest, and in particular, 50+ Swallows, and a further 100+ along the road at Stella's Pond - mostly Bank, but some Tree and a few Barn and Cliff. 2 of us went to photograph an active Bald eagle's nest in New Minas, and later saw the adults being dive-bombed by Red-wings as they brought food in for the young. If any of the other participants want to add to this message, especially the non-bird nature sightings, please do so.
