Many thanks for taking the trouble to do the field trip report for us!  I s=
aw the male purple finch in the same spot you were looking at the rose brea=
sted grosbeak.  Blackburn warblers were missing as well.  Where did you see=
 the Kingbird??   We also saw the Veery.

We, including Hanka, a Czech Republic post graduate student (Dal), really e=
njoyed your birding outing....  Hanka and I went on to explore a bit more a=
nd found black bellied plovers, willets, AND a huge Peregrine Falcon chasin=
g a BB plover in the Crescent Beach area!  No, it didn't get its supper.  B=
efore heading home, I showed her Lunenburg and Mahone Bay.

Many thanks for taking the time to ensure we got to see as many birds liste=
d below!

PS  I hope Suzanne Borkowski and Andy de Champlain will do theirs for us.  =
Thanks again.

Cheers,

Liz

 Conquerall Mills Field Trip


I had six people show up for the field trip.  Not as many species as normal=
 and it was my impression that warblers numbers and other species numbers w=
ere down substantially.  No yellow warblers or magnolia warblers, which was=
 disconcerting.  Also, on the Spring Migration Count there were plentiful N=
ashville and palm warblers.  No Nashvilles were found on the outing and onl=
y one palm.  Swallows were also scarce.  Anyhow, the list was:

1. Rock Pigeon
2. American Redstart
3. European Starling
4. Mourning Dove
5. Yellow-rumped Warbler
6. American Goldfinch
7. Song Sparrow
8. American Robin
9. Northern Parula
10. Black-capped Chickadee
11. Blue-headed Vireo
12. Ovenbird
13. Least Flycatcher (heard only)
14. Black-throated Green Warbler
15. Red-breasted Nuthatch
16. Northern Flicker
17. Northern Waterthrush
18. Hermit Thrush
19. Gray Catbird
20. Blue Jay
21. Black & White Warbler
22. Golden-crowned Kinglet
23. Barred Owl - Two sitting side by side with a great display of mobbing b=
y other birds.
24. American Crow
25. Herring Gull
26. Chestnut-sided Warbler
27. Rose-breasted Grosbeak
28. Red-eyed Vireo
29. Common Raven
30. Purple Finch (Heard)
31. White-throated Sparrow
32. Eastern Wood Pewee (Heard)
33. Common Loon
34. White-breasted Nuthatch
35. Alder Flycatcher
36. Common Yellowthroat
37. Belted Kingfisher
38. Pine Siskin
39. Bobolink
40. Pileated Woodpecker
41. Hairy Woodpecker
42. Red-winged Blackbird
43. Tree Swallow
44. Red-tailed Hawk
45. Eastern Kingbird
46. Osprey
47. Common Grackle
48. Palm Warbler

I heard ruby-throated hummingbird also, and might have seen one, but it als=
o could have been a Sphinx moth.  Dorothy Poole also heard a Swainson's Thr=
ush.
