April 11, 2007 - After three days of seeing just a few singles, suddenly this morning our neighborhood in Wolfville was LOADED WITH ROBINS in many groups of 2 to 10+, and many snow-free patches of lawns were occupied for foraging. And this is exactly a week after lower Blomidon was invaded by ³lots². April 12, 2007 - Beautiful sunny and WARM day, up to 12 C., resulted in a lot of melting of our lingering snow (from Apr. 8/07). Pat noticed and I confirmed that again we have (or still have from mid-winter) a big, wary NORWAY RAT at our feeders. In late afternoon I noticed a FOX SPARROW in our bird-house feeder. April 13, 2007 - As a ³gift from the gods² for the newly arrived flocks of migrant ROBINS, overnight the newly exposed small patches of lawns were all covered up with about 5 cm. of very wet, heavy, NEW SNOW, and there was freezing rain to boot. One ³female² PURPLE FINCH (i.e., brown-plumaged) still at our feeders. Cheers :-) from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204 --------------------- Jim (James W.)
