Nov. 12, 2006 - Heather MacDonald at Avonport Beach reports a small bird
with red on the top of its head, probably a COMMON REDPOLL?

No sign of the GOLDENEYES at Port Williams sewage ponds (2 checks turned up
only 2 pairs of MALLARDS).  The large field of corn stubble just south of
Noggins Farm at Greenwich contained about 35+ CANADA GEESE in the afternoon.

In walking and driving on the Port Williams and Grand Pre dykes and
dykelands, Pat and I noticed oodles of ROSE-HIPS OF WILD ROSE.  What eats
these hips?   Their huge numbers every year donıt seem to get depleted much
during the winter.

Stephen Coldwell picked up a road-killed BARRED OWL (probably) along Highway
101 just east of the Hortonville/Grand Pre exit.  There were no bands on the
legs, and he will get the bird to the N.S. Dept. of Nat. Resources in
Kentville.
