Index of Subjects Your sighting (hearing) of a Mourning Warbler, along with another in Cumberland Co, yesterday completes the list of Spring First Arrivals for Warblers. Another welcome addition was Nelson’s Sparrow, also appearing yesterday in Digby Co and Rainbow Haven PP. Both these late migrants were more or less on time. See the SFA table here http://nsbirdsociety.ca/library/resources/spring-first-arrivals Not many spaces left to fill. Some will remain blank due to confusion with overwintering birds. I was hoping the Ibis, seen by Angus, could have been IDed and fill in the space for Glossy Ibis. But the latter is not always a Spring arrival as the blank space last year shows. We will be going over the whole thing soon checking in with eBird etc. But any corrections you know of will help out.

Lots of birds but difficult to see most of them. The best one was a Canada Warbler which sang incessantly just before the rain. It was on the trail just above the gun emplacements. I spent a lot of time trying to get a decent pic of a female Pileated Woodpecker as it jumped around feeding from lower tree trunks to the ground. It's fun watching them go through their antics. Most likely nesting in the area. > On Sunday (May 27), there was 1 Canada Warbler and 1 Mourning Warbler singing along the access road to Blomidon Campground. This was just above the last sharp turn and along the subsequent straight stretch. Many of the birds only sang once so a frustrating morning! > This morning at Miner's Marsh many people were looking for the Canada Warbler seen yesterday by David Bell (I did not receive the email?). Three people seen it this morning but most did not. The thicket at the NW corner of the Marsh was full of birds, many Redstarts, Black-throated Blue Warblers, Blue-headed Vireos and a variety of others. > Angus
