Andy Dean 86 Baden Powell drive, Kentville, N.S. B4N 5P5 (902) 678-6243 aadean@ns.sympatico.ca ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Rick Whitman=20 To: naturens=20 Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 2:45 PM 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.
