I'm just putting this out as a thought, not as a given. I was in Bridgewat=
er the other day and saw a juvenile bald eagle. As I was looking at it wit=
h my binoculars, I spotted a small hawk way up circling like one would see =
hawks during migration. It was high enough that if it went any higher it w=
ould only be a speck in the air. I believe that it was a merlin or an Amer=
ican kestrel as right after I saw it it flew into the sun before I could ge=
t a positive ID and then I could not relocate it. By the actions of this h=
awk, I believe that it was migrating. Opinions on this would be welcome.
I had an email from Thom Drew of Moshers Island that he had a brown thrashe=
r yesterday. This could have been the bird in Cherry Hill that overwintere=
d there or possibly another bird that was blown in during the heavy winds t=
he other day. Opinions on this are also welcome. I'd like to know if any =
migrants showed up elsewhere in the province that might suggest an event wh=
ere species were blown in from the states that might have been migrating. =
I had American robins show up in the yard yesterday also after a long absen=
ce. They could be birds that overwintered or maybe the start of birds on t=
he move back here. Too early to determine this I guess.
David Watson of East LaHave has had a fox sparrow there for a number of wee=
ks now.
