In both cases is hard to know whether there is 1 bird moving around and calling or 2 birds. I think it's the former. In both places we, or others have heard or seen them on and off over the last few years. In 2017 and 2018 we heard them calling at home the night of the Wolfville CBC but we couldn't make it a hat trick.
