Hi All:
As is usually the case in southwest Nova Scotia during the spring, nocturnal
migration is light during the month of April. Migrant passerines are
typically detected late in the night, indicating that birds are arriving
directly to their breeding territories. Passerines going further north seem
to be taking another route, possibly along the New Brunswick side of the Bay
of Fundy.
On the other hand, the small flocks of migrating sea ducks heard this week
at Beaver River, Yarmouth County, were more evenly distributed through the
night. These consisted of two flocks of 5-7 Long-tailed Ducks and one flock
of 1-2 Black Scoters. It is quite possible these were birds from the south
shore of Nova Scotia passing overland to the Bay of Fundy and migrating
north from there.
Passerines consisted of Song Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, White-throated
Sparrow, and Dark-eyed Junco.
The screech of a single Wilson's Snipe was also recorded.
