Subject: [NatureNS] Probable Marsh Wren Miner's Marsh Kentville
Hi All,
Today at about 4:15 I had three quick glimpses of what I believe is a marsh=
wren at Miner's Marsh in Kentville. The bird was in the cat tails at the f=
ollowing Google Maps marker:
45.079340, -64.488918
The continuous scolding was what caught my attention. I stood for about ten=
minutes waiting for the bird to come into view, I saw it briefly three tim=
es. A dark cap with light supercillium and then a dark line on the side of =
its face through the eye. The back was dark brown with light streaks over t=
he upper back. The tail was cocked upward once when the bird briefly appear=
ed. It skulked in the cat tails and the movement of the cat tails revealed =
its position. In all I saw the bird for only 15 to 18 seconds! (three views=
each five to six seconds)
The Cornell bird site's scold note recording matches what I heard this afte=
rnoon.
Hopefully the bird will remain in location as one did here in the past!!
George Forsyth
