Yellow Warbler in the brush. I spent hours a couple weeks ago trying to get a picture of one of these guys. This one came right out to show off his beautiful colors!

A bright yellow warbler perched in dense green brush, looking alert. Its vivid plumage contrasts with the muted background.

We've had a little ripple of migration here in southern Nova Scotia today. single Scarlet and Summer Tanagers, two Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and a handful of Indigo Buntings found so far. This one was in our yard, Apr-13, 2024. #birds #birding #Novascotiabirds #birdwatching

Another species that is slowly nudging into Nova Scotia. This Carolina Wren was in Liverpool, NS singing away in warm March sunshine. We know of four birds throughout the province, we need a few more of the right gender to really get things cracking. #Birds #Birdwatching #NovaScotiabirds

#birdoftheday for #foodfinds are all from Country Island, Nova Scotia in 2014. #blackGuillemot, #arcticTern, and #commonTern. Birds like to eat and feed chicks. #bird #birds #birdphotography #naturephototgraphy #wildlifephototgraphy #novascotiabirds Shot from a blind.

Spotted this beautifully camouflaged Ruff (rare for Nova Scotia!) blending seamlessly into the marshy landscape. Pure luck I saw him.

A reminder to those of us in the north (of everywhere south) that a case of slow spring blues can turn in a moment. A Prothonotary Warbler from Pubnico NS, around this time a few years ago. #birds #birding #birdwatching #novascotiabirds

Tis the season for these lads to show up looking miserable around the wharves on Cape Island, NS. I have to call them Thick-billed Murre now, but they'll really always be a Brunnich's to me. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #NovaScotiaBirds

A scarce breeder in the south of Nova Scotia, the majority of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks that we see around this time were likely aiming for somewhere else. Pubinco Apr-19, 2024. #birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Novascotiabirds

I've seen Snowy Owl one 126 different dates in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia, since December 2015, but come April 12th it will be two years since the last. Is this the shape of things to come or will winter 2024-25 revert to norm? #Birds #Birdwatching #Birding #NovaScotiabirds #owls

Always nice to come across the unexpected. Lapland Longspur is generally a fall bird in southern Nova Scotia, so finding two at Mavillette Beach Park in Digby County was a good start to the day's birding. #birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Novascotiabirds

After another birder asked about our Grey Heron, so I went for a look and found it. Unusually, it didn't fly well away, so I got a few shots. This is presumed a returning bird from last winter, when it became the 2nd for Nova Scotia. #birds #birding #birdwatching #novascotiabirds

I just did a birding blog post, link at the end. The bird is a Great-blacked Backed Gull with pigment issues at one of our Cape Sable Island wharves, we have several. capesablebirding.wordpress.com

Although Common Grackles are generally first back in Nova Scotia, I tend to think the return of Killdeers marks spring. Palm Warblers should be here in a week and the memory of an awful March will soon be wiped away. #birds #Birding #Novascotiabirds#
