On Sunday I did some birding in Shelburne and Pubnico area. The *Western Tanager* is still at Ethelda Murphy's feeders in front of her home in Pubnico. It sometimes tends the feeders across the street, too. Also there were five *Grackles*, A *Red-winged Blackbird*, *Juncos*, *Golden* *crowned Kinglets*, *Blue Jays*, *White-throated Sparrows, *and a *male and female Cardinal.* Sunday afternoon there was a *Tern sp*. on the Pond near the CO-Op store. I was driving with my daughter, so didn't do a positive ID. (I presume it was the Forester's, but I couldn't count it !)We noted the *Great Blue* *Heron* there. Monday the weather turned nasty- I saw few birds in the Shelburne area. Tuesday I was working on CSI and was able to do some birding at noon time and after school. Thanks, Clyde, for your help. I missed the Palm Warblers at Wind Whistle Hill, but a large *Peregrine* *Falcon *went past the house (the most southern house in Nova Scotia) very closely. A female *N. Harrier* was hunting the marsh, and 34 *Brant *were on the flats at the Hawk. There were 3 *Harequins* off the Green Knoll. I twice missed the *Redhead *(on Dec 17th and at noontime), but thanks to Johnny and Sandra, saw it about 3pm yesterday with some Common Eider. Near Isaac's Pond in Centreville there was a *Swamp Sparrow*. I saw one *Song*** *Sparrow* on CSI, as well as the usual *Mourning Doves, Crows, a couple of Ravens, Black-backed, Herring and Ring-billed Gulls, Black, Mallard and Eider Ducks, a Greater and a Lesser Scaup (one of each), and one Sharp-shinned Hawk *on my way off the island. Cheers, Joan
