> Hi Everyone;
>
> We had a gorgeous day for our Hants County field trip!  We tallied  
> 73 species, our best tally yet for this trip.
>
> We started at Mount Uniacke House with 14 participants.  Highlights  
> here included Eastern Wood-Pewee, Blackburnian Warbler, Black- 
> backed Woodpecker and Pileated Woodpecker.  On Elliott Road we had  
> Northern Waterthrush, Veery, Least Flycatcher, Am. Redstart,  
> Nashville Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler and Tennessee Warbler.   
> By the end of the day we had tallied 16 warbler species.  Near  
> Smiley's Prov. Park we saw Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Bobolink, Brown- 
> headed Cowbird and Swamp Sparrow.
>
> We ended our trip at the St. Croix Recreation Park where we tried  
> but did not see the American Bittern; however a pair of very active  
> Pied-billed Grebes were a nice treat for us.  The three pairs of  
> Canada Geese with numerous goslings in tow were not too happy with  
> the Grebes' antics.  By this time we were down to 7 participants  
> and we called it a day.
