Feb. 6, 2007 - With continuing very cold and snowy weather, our Wolfville
feeders were graced with the male N. CARDINAL at least three times today (we
havenıt seen the female in a week or so, but presumably she is still
around), along with a male N. FLICKER and a male WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH,
along with our other usuals: BLUE JAYS, several BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES,
several WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, 1 SONG SPARROW, etc.

Feb. 9, 2007 - Sheila Young of Grand Pre called today to report a BROWN
CREEPER in her yard, plus the male/female pair of CARDINALS that have been
present since November.  Pat and I saw a creeper there a few weeks ago.

Martin Thomas from north of Port Williams called to report a flock of ROBINS
in his yard (he didn't say how many), and wondered whether others were also
seeing robins?  I probably have missed some recent reports, but the only
local sightings I recall from myself and others were rare and of single
robins or very small numbers.
