Nov. 12, 2007 - In mid-afternoon I checked some local ponds etc.: Port Williams sewage ponds: no ducks in n. pond, s. pond held about 120 MALLARDS and a few BLACK DUCKS; I drove past the Canard EAGLE-NEST TREE, which seems to be still standing? (or is it a different tree?), but the nest was gone (blown down by Noel)(thus perhaps the eagles can build a new nest in the remaining tree?); Harrisı Pond in Canning held 175 CANADA GEESE, 4 f/imm HOODED MERGANSERS (like yesterday), a single f/imm RING-NECKED DUCK (perhaps one of the five unknown diving ducks seen yesterday), 3 BLACK DUCKS with 1 MALLARD; Canard Pond held lots of ducks, including 1 male GADWALL, 6 male N. PINTAILS, 4+ AM. WIGEONS (2 males), lots of MALLARDS and BLACK DUCKS, plus gulls, and no geese; at the pond s. of Chipmanıs Corner (M. Dyke Rd.) was an adult BALD EAGLE (and only one eagle seen during yesterdayıs drive, too); the riverside Ducks Unlimited pond n. of New Minas on M. Dyke Road held a single lovely male BUFFLEHEAD. Nov. 13, 2007 - More feeder notes from home in Wolfville: currently we have about 6+ WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and 4+ JUNCOS, but no SONG SPARROWS (none seen for over 2 weeks); thus this may be the first winter here without song sparrows. Also present are 4 MOURNING DOVES, 8 PHEASANTS, 4+ BLUE JAYS, 2+ CARDINALS, etc. Cheers :-) from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204 --------------------- Jim (James W.)
