I didn't see anything posted so I'll put something online.  Keep an eye out=
 for six immature Greater white-fronted geese.  These were located by Lise =
Bell yesterday off Crescent Beach=2C Lunenburg County and were with some Ca=
nada geese.  These geese haven't been found again since the sighting=2C so =
appear to have left the area.  With a detailed description and having spoke=
n with Ian McLaren=2C it is believed that they were immature white-fronted =
geese.  They appeared to have been very tired when observed=2C so maybe the=
y have not gone far. =20
=20
I checked into some other rarities also today=2C but struck out on all coun=
ts.  At the location of the white-crowned sparrow in Lunenburg the people w=
ho own the property appear to have been gardening all day=2C so my timing w=
as poor.  Also=2C at the location of the Orchard oriole at Shore Drive in G=
arden Lots=2C it was very quiet with just two yellow-rumped warblers around=
 where the bird had been seen.  I also failed on two rose-breasted grosbeak=
s at Broad Cove as the property owner was mowing the lawn.  I did find a wh=
imbrel and a black-bellied plover at Crescent beach though and was surprise=
d to find a bobolink at Broad Cove. =20
