Jim,

The sapsucker is in Hantsport not Avonport.  Thanks for dropping by; I
enjoy having others see this bird.

Feb. 16, 2007 - On my way back to Wolfville from a meeting with a bunch
of
people at Avondale, West Hants Co., concerning the
welfare/sustainability of
the Avon Peninsula (north of Windsor), I stopped briefly at Marian
Fultonıs
home in Avonport.  

My timing was perfect, since Marian was just unloading groceries from
her
car, AND her quite ³tame² and gorgeous male YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER
was, as
usual, clinging to one of the feeders that hang from the edge of the
roof of
her back patio.  It just sat there and allowed good views with
binoculars
from the driveway.

As some of you will recall, Marian first reported a sapsucker, then an
immature, back in the late winter of 2004-2005, then presumably the same
bird, now an 1.5-year-old male, appeared last winter, and again
presumably
the same bird now is spending long periods of nearly every day in the
same
back yard.

I have copied to Marian Fulton for those who may wish to contact her.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204
