JUNE 1/20 =97 a male Am. redstart seen, and choke cherry in bloom.

By car I made several local bald eagle nest-checks, but now the leafing =
out trees are a very serious problem for such endeavours:

(a) eagle nest north of Avonport, east of Oak Island Road: nest occupied =
by at least one inactive large eaglet;

(b) east Hortonville eagle nest: nothing visible in nest, but new leaves =
make viewing difficult;

(c) Horton Landing eagle nest: nest very hard to see now (except from =
dyke heading north) =97 both adult eagles were present, but no eaglets =
visible from there;

(d) North Grand Pre, West Long Island, #387 farmhouse eagle nest: one =
adult eagle perched near the nest, and at least one very large eaglet, =
well feathered, in the nest;

(e) also West Long Island, Leungs=92 eagle nest: at 4:20 p.m. an adult =
was feeding a very large eaglet, and then the second big eaglet stood up =
in the nest beside the first one =97 both eaglets were very large and =
appeared to be very well feathered with huge wings;

(f) Grand Pre, Miner Lane eagle nest above the rail-trail west from =
Grand Pre Hist. Park: both adult eagles were at the nest, and one =
appeared to be feeding on something, but no eaglets were visible;

(g) Noggins Corner eagle nest (nw. of farm market): no eagles to be =
seen;

(h) East Wolfville Main St., Anglican Church: no eagles of any age =
visible in late afternoon.

JUNE 2/20 =97 lupines just starting to flower in east Wolfville, and =
mountain ashes are now suddenly and lushly in bloom there too.

JUNE 3/20 =97 New Minas Co-op bald eagle nest: no eagles seen at the =
nest.

JUNE 4/20 =97 New Minas sewage ponds bald eagle nest (on north bank of =
Cornwallis River): 2 large fledglings in nest.

Noggins Corner old eagle nest: 2 big eagles (eaglets?) in the nest (they =
were just dark sillhouettes, so I couldn=92t tell whether either one was =
an adult?  Yesterday I couldn=92t see anything in the nest.

Starr=92s Point bald eagle nest: no eagles visible, but difficult =
viewing there.

Lower Church Street bald eagle nest: at least one big fledgling in nest, =
but I was unsure about seeing a second youngster there.

JUNE 5/20 =97 Wolfville bald eagle nest at Anglican Church, east Main =
St.  =97 today in late afternoon a very big eaglet fledgling, all =
feathered out apparently, was actively moving about and jumping and =
flapping its big wings =97 very nice to see, but a bit worrisome =
regarding possible accidents like falling off to the ground.
