March 4, 2007 - Brenda and Bill Thexton saw an interacting threesome of C.
FLICKERS on the Kingıs-Edgehill campus in Windsor.

At a feeder at Lumsden Reservoir, there was a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH along
with chickadees, goldfinches, and a red squirrel.

March 5, 2007 - Bill Thexton saw 600-800 CANADA GEESE at Wellington Dyke,
ne. of Port Williams.

At Hortonville I had a nice view of the NEARLY-ALL-WHITE PARTIAL-ALBINO
RED-TAILED HAWK, and I confirmed my earlier mention of the cere and legs
being yellow and the eyes dark.  One of the favourite perches of this hawk
is in a small tree just south of the farmhouse, which is just east of the
reddish barn at the south end of the overpass at the Hortonville/Grand Pre
exit on Highway 101.

In Wolfville, along Westwood Ave. on the edge of the Acadia campus, I
watched 3-4 CROWS harassing a soaring RED-TAILED HAWK; then a RAVEN flew in
and joined in the harassment as they all went out of sight behind some
trees.
