Hi All,
Today while unsuccessfully looking for a Marsh Wren at Miner's Marsh in
Kentville, I heard a scratching noise in the dry leaves on the hillside to
the north of the ponds under the tall oak trees. I scanned with binoculars
hoping for a Towhee, and was surprised see two frisky Grey Squirrels. She
was seemingly not very interested, continuing to feed on acorns. He was
certainly interested and mounted her twice before she scampered off. I'm
not sure when young ones are born, but a new family is now possible at
Miner's Marsh!

The larger pond hosted five Pied Billed Grebes and seven Hooded Mergansers
(4 m, 3 f). The mergansers are certainly stunning, especially today when
the water was so still.

Regards, George Forsyth
