Nov. 16, 2006 - Both male and female CARDINALS appeared again at our feeders, in mid-morning, at the same time but not really together (unless they were perhaps constantly in contact via unheard contact calls? In mid-afternoon I checked the Port Williams sewage ponds, and there were no goldeneyes at all, just about 20 MALLARDS. Nov. 17, 2006 - Unbelievably WARM WEATHER for mid-November! Today is the thirds day in a row of temperatures of 15 to 19 Celsius! And I am wearing shorts just like the students and Sam VanderKloet! Today my car registered a high temperature of 21 C.! Lots of people out jogging and biking and walking, and quite a few FLOWERS are still in bloom in gardens and along roadsides. FLOWERS noted today in Wolfville without any searching were VARROW, COMMON SENECIO/RAGWORT?, and two weedy species of MALLOWS, including ³CHEESES². All of these were clearly plants with NEW GROWTH and NEW FLOWERS, rather than blossoms that had been formed weeks ago and preserved by autumn weather. Perhaps via NatureNS e-mails we can find out what species of new flowers have been noted by naturalists during this balmy few days lately?
