Oct. 15/06 - This evening at home in Wolfville I noticed LOTS of SPARROW ACTIVITY on the ground in my back yard in the area of the feeders. There were at least 10 WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS (probably considerably more), plus several SONG SPARROWS, 2 GOLDFINCHES, 2 MOURNING DOVES, several BLUE JAYS, several BL.-C. CHICKADEES, a single f/imm PURPLE FINCH, several AM. ROBINS, etc. Oct. 18, 2006 - Late this morning, while I was reading e-mail at home in Wolfville, Pat glanced at our back-yard feeders, and called out loudly, ³Jim! Come upstairs right now! CARDINAL!!² Then we delightedly watched a male N. CARDINAL feeding both on the ground and on my hanging feeder with SAFFLOWER seeds, which have been ignored by our birds before this year, but now are disappearing rapidly. A few minutes later, also a female cardinal showed up and foraged with the male.
