Looking for the nesting Canada Geese in Stella's Pond (D.U. pond)  on the
Cornwallis River Crossing  Rd,  west end of New Minas, this afternoon, I
found no sign of any of the six geese that had been there in late April, but
an unexpected delight was of four C. Nighthawks suddenly appearing overhead
hawking insects joining a few swallows doing the same thing. They steadily
drifted eastwards, probably to benefit from insects around the New Minas
Sewage Ponds.

 

With a few mins to spare this morning I stopped at the entrance of
Palmeter's Woods hoping to find a Catbird (no sign) but found a very active
mixed-flock of warblers:  Am. Redstarts (dominant), Common Yellowthroat,
Yellow and Chestnut-sided warblers.

 

Cheers, 

Judy Tufts
