Oct. 22, 2006 - Pat and I did our Sunday walk in the Kentville Ravine, and
along the main trail we were lucky to spot a perched adult N. GOSHAWK; it
then flew away from the trail and landed briefly on the ground, before
flying away.

In the riverside Ducks Unlimited pond along Middle Dyke Road, nw. of New
Minas, there were 5 juvenile/imm. DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, a GREAT BLUE
HERON, and 4 AM. BLACK DUCKS.  Another GREAT BLUE HERON, a youngster of this
year, was seen s. of Port Williams.

At home in Wolfville, a female N. CARDINAL with a yellowish beak was on our
safflower-seed feeder at dusk at 6:20 p.m.

Also at home, we found a still-active LEAF-FOOTED BUG trapped between a
window-screen and the window.
