gpoole Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Saw this bird on the coast of Nova Scotia this morning. I've not seen this bird before. My research has me looking at Northern Wheatear. Can it be?.......Thanks 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Looks like there is one being seen on Brier Island, so it could be the same bird if you are in the region. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Eventually they'll figure out that they can winter in South America, and they'll be regular migrants through the U.S. Unless they don't figure it out. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHenry Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Didn’t you find a Fieldfare as well before? Or was that someone else? Maybe I need to move to Nova Scotia for a couple years… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
