First up was a = Red-bellied Woodpecker sitting on a wire. Shortly thereafter came a = Sharp-shinned Hawk that scattered the Northern Flickers. Next up was a = Cooper's Hawk; large, square tailed and barrel chested. This scattered = the Sharp-shinned Hawk. We heard a loud four part warning = call(presumably) from a Canada Jay, a call I've never heard before. = Needless to say there was a lot of back and forth activity across Sandy = Cove Road. Sandy Cove's beach was empty thanks to a recent visit by a = small white dog and its driver. Earlier, I visited Mount Uniacke Museum Estate. I walked a portion of = the Wetland's Trail looking for woodpeckers and owls and then the = manicured grounds in front of the estate home. Only a White-breasted = Nuthatch announced its presence at both locations. At Anthony Provincial = Park I found the largest gathering of warblers and vireos I've = encountered this fall although no rarities. ____________________________________________________________________ Hans Toom Portuguese Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada http://www.hanstoom.com http://www.hanstoom.com/blog ------=_NextPart_000_0044_01CFD9BD.FD8F7F80 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.23588"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message -----=20 <DIV style=3D"BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A=20 title=3Dhtoom@hfx.eastlink.ca href=3D"mailto:htoom@hfx.eastlink.ca">Hans = Toom</A>=20 </DIV> <DIV><B>To:</B> <A title=3DNS-RBA@yahoogroups.com=20 href=3D"mailto:NS-RBA@yahoogroups.com">NS-RBA</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>Sent:</B> Friday, September 26, 2014 7:12 PM</DIV> <DIV><B>Subject:</B> Red-bellied Woodpecker and Cooper's = Hawk</DIV></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>After I gallivanted all over Nova = Scotia today the=20 best production by far came from our evening walk along Sandy Cove Road. = First=20 up was a <STRONG>Red-bellied Woodpecker</STRONG> sitting on a wire. = Shortly=20 thereafter came a <STRONG>Sharp-shinned Hawk</STRONG> that = scattered the=20 <STRONG>Northern Flickers</STRONG>.
