--001a11425fa80c93410531645e7e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable hi folks, In case you got the eBird alert and were sprinting to see this sparrow in NS, the checklist has been adjusted - The only Black-throated Sparrow observed to date is at Brown Road, Beaubassin Research Station, NB: Here's the original alert for NB from John Klymko: "Nicole MacDonald discovered a Black-throated Sparrow at theBeaubassin Research Station this evening at about 7PM. The bird was seen wellby Nicole, myself, and several staff at the station until about 830PM. Severaldiagnostic photos have been taken. It looked to be in good health and wasconstantly foraging. The sparrow was seen foraging around the foundation of theBeaubassin Research Station building and around and even under the vehicles ofthe station staff. As far as I=E2=80=99m aware this is the first record for theMaritimes! The Beaubassin Research Station is located just east ofAulac. From the Irving Big Stop take Aulac Road east, then turn right ontoBrown Road (this is the only way you can turn once you drive down in themarsh). The research station is the white house just across the train tracks.Google directions can be seen here: https://goo.gl/maps/5w5nfiHpq6S2.Staff at the station did not think it would be an issue if birders came to lookfor the bird, but please be respectful of staff and make sure they have accessto their vehicles. Cheers, John PS: I=E2=80=99ve posted Nicole's photos of the bird at http://birdingnewbrunswick.ca/forum/topics/black-throated-sparrow-beaubassi= n-research-station-tantramar " James --=20 James Churchill Kentville, Nova Scotia jameslchurchill@gmail.com --001a11425fa80c93410531645e7e Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">hi folks,=C2=A0<div>In case you got the eBird alert and we= re sprinting to see this sparrow in NS, the checklist has been adjusted - = =C2=A0</div><div>The only Black-throated Sparrow observed to date is at Bro= wn Road, Beaubassin Research Station, NB:=C2=A0</div><div><br></div><div>He= re's the original alert for NB from John Klymko:</div><div><br></div><d= iv><span style=3D"font-size:13.6px">"Nicole MacDonald discovered a Bla= ck-throated Sparrow at theBeaubassin Research Station this evening at about= =C2=A0</span><span class=3D"" tabindex=3D"0" style=3D"font-size:13.6px"><sp= an class=3D"">7PM</span></span><span style=3D"font-size:13.6px">.
