Reg Thexton traditionally  expected the geese to arrive here on March 13 =
and he was usually right on so thest would be close enough.

  Subject: [NatureNS] Early Spring Migrants


  I don't get too excited about Robins or Song Sparrows in early March =
as my default assumption is that they spent winter right here in Kings =
County. However, yesterday I saw 2 Canada Geese at East Point, North =
Grand Pre. Today I saw about 110 flying in two flocks over Greenfield =
(well inland) flying S to N, "obviously" coming over from the South =
Shore. These are early migrants in my books.


  Also today, at the swamp/stream near Little Lake, Greenfield, I saw a =
male Kingfisher above some open water. I realize a few Kingfishers =
over-winter in NS but, again, you do not see a Kingfisher at this forest =
swamp in winter as it is frozen solid & covered in 1-3 ft of snow.


  We survived for another spring.
