--001a114da69040b221053d9387ba Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 This past Sunday afternoon, I was at the south of Bog Meadow Bog looking at the pools that resulted from the blockage of drainage ditches on the southwest of the meadow. A black duck flew off and that was nice because even though the water was skunky, this is newly restored habitat that will in time become bog pools. I saw a robin sized bird in a small spruce tree that was not a thrush nor a robin, not a starling or grackle or cowbird and so I persisted until he or she had shown itself and I saw it was sleeker that a robin and was partly brown and satiny particularly in the upper part of the body. It bobbed or pumped its tail as it moved through the tree and it wasn't particularly afraid allowing me to rule out anything I had ever seen before. I was with James Churchill when he heard one call in Canso; Brier is boreal habitat similar to the Canso. It finally flew off with a bit of an undulating jay or flicker like flight and made two brief calls that were not particularly melodious. A single Rusty Blackbird just north west of pond cove, Brier Island on September 25th. There have been flocks of birders reported. Has anyone seen this on Brier this year?
