Oct. 13, 2007 - A juvenile female N. HARRIER was seen in the Canard River Valley along Hwy. 358. Harrisı Pond in Canning held 450 CANADA GEESE but not much else. And there were 15 GREEN-WINGED TEALS in the Ducks Unlimited riverside pond nw. of New Minas along Middle Dyke Road. Oct. 14, 2007 - A gorgeous male N. CARDINAL showed up at our Wolfville feeders; this is our first sighting of a male this autumn (two sightings of a single female earlier). Also present were 6 PURPLE FINCHES (2 males, 4 females or juv./imm.). Add 5 pheasants, hairy woodpecker, downy woodpecker, 4+ blue jays, 4+ bl.-c. chickadees, a white-breasted nuthatch, a mourning dove, 5+ song sparrows, 3+ white-throated sparrows, and a red squirrel. Oct. 17, 2007 - Iım very sorry to see that again a NORWAY RAT has found our feeders in Wolfville, after I went for most of the summer without feeding the birds at all. Oct. 19, 2007 - I saw my first few JUNCOS of the autumn at home in Wolfville, and again a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW was SINGING. I drove from Greenwich to Coldbrook on Hwy. 101 and noticed that FINALLY our FALL COLOURS are getting to be very nice indeed, especially from New Minas west, after a long spell of too much warmth and not much for colours. This suggests that a bit of driving around this weekend and walking and photographing might be in order. Cheers :-) from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204 --------------------- Jim (James W.)
