--001a113d31a682e25d0537c729ae Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi All, I walked this afternoon on the new Rail Trail from Hwy #358 to Cherry Lane in Wolfville and back. On the way back I had an excellent look at a Brown Thrasher also walking on the trail. Copied from eBird: "Well seen on gravel of trail, just west of the large condominium, two song sparrows, a chipmunk and a young robin were also on the trail allowing a good comparison of size. Thrasher was longer than the robin. Cinnamon brown back and tail; tail very long; two wing bars noted; brown streaking below; beak longer than Robin's and with a very slight down curve. The Thrasher moved along the trail about twenty meters ahead of me, when I first spotted it I assumed before looking closely that it was another Robin but the reddish brown back and tail stood out immediately, it moved to the weeds along the trail edge and then flew a short distance across the trail giving a good look at the tail length, I saw it then only briefly in the branches of the shrubbery along the trail. In all maybe a little over two minutes of observation. Google: 45.090369, -64.380594 Cheers, George Forsyth --001a113d31a682e25d0537c729ae Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div><div>Hi All, <br><br>I walked this afternoon on the n= ew Rail Trail from Hwy #358 to Cherry Lane in Wolfville and back.
