Jan. 9, 2007 - At the Port Williams sewage ponds, there were no goldeneyes, just 45 MALLARDS (26 males, 19 females) with a single male ³BLALLARD² or ³MACK DUCK² (McDuck??)(³hybrid² mallard X black duck). Jan. 14, 2007 - Finally, after lots of looks out at our feeders in Wolfville, after again almost 2 weeks of not seeing them, our female and male N. CARDINALS reappeared briefly. Also present there and new to our yard were 3 ROCK PIGEONS. At Grand Pre, in the yard of Sheila and Earl Young, Pat & I saw a BROWN CREEPER, along with 2 WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, 3 MOURNING DOVES, 4 BL.-C. CHICKADEES, and 4 AM. GOLDFINCHES. Also at Grand Pre, mostly near the raptor feeder of Lloyd Duncanson, we saw 3 BALD EAGLES, 7 RED-TAILED HAWKS, and a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK (the latter is the first sharpie that I have seen this winter). A few days ago, Pat Davis in Port Williams sent me digital photos of a BALTIMORE ORIOLE that was in her back yard. Back on Dec. 16/06, during the Wolfville Christmas Coun t, Doug Linzey and I found a BALTIMORE ORIOLE in Wolfville, at the corner of Robie Tufts Drive and Marsh Hawk Drive (as far as I know, nobody has looked for it since then). Another item concerns HOUSE SPARROWS in Wolfville, among which there was a DICKCISSEL back on Dec. 16 & 17/06 (Jean Timpa & Bernard Forsythe). Lately there have been 6-20 house sparrows sometimes in a dense yew hedge by the old Maritime Tel & Tel building, just across Main St. from the Acadia Cinema, but I havenıt been able to spot the dickcissel among them. Jan. 16, 2007 - Yesterday and today during the continuing SNOWFALL and cold temperatures, lots of GOLDFINCHES etc. at the feeders. Today 4 ROBINS were sitting high in trees in our back yard, and a female FLICKER visited our suet feeder. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204 --------------------- Jim (James W.)
