It is interesting to learn of the Osprey on the nest yesterday in Bedford, I presume for the first day this season(?) There was also one on the nest platform on hwy 8 between Keji and South Milford for the first time this season yesterday (18th). A synchronized start to the nesting season for osprey perhaps for mainland NS? Streams are finally open. Still no peepers in the Annapolis Valley in Tupperville.

A sign that spring is actually here! There was a first spring male red-winged blackbird at the intersection of Cobequid and the road into the Charles MacDonald park and an adult male by the elementary school on Rocky Lake Drive. Rocky Lake is still mostly ice covered. There were a couple common goldeneye and a few ring-necked ducks. We had an interesting mix of birds in our back yard in Lower Sackville including a singing purple finch. At one point there were 2 pheasants and 2 black ducks feeding within a few feet of each other. They dwarfed a red squirrel that was in their midst. We had up to 5 fox sparrows at one point over the last few weeks, but they seem to have moved on. Earlier in the week we were lucky to have a pair of cardinals. The male was observed feeding the female. David, Lower Sackville Sent from my iPad
