Dec. 9, 2007 - The probable CHIPPING SPARROW and the immature WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW are still at my feeders, along with a horde of 20+ JUNCOS, 5+ WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, the probable male (bright salmon breast) RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, 6+ PHEASANTS, etc. Also our 2 CARDINALS today were BOTH FEMALES (usually we have just one male/female pair). Dec. 10, 2007 - Add at least one female or immature male PURPLE FINCH to the menagerie of feeder-birds at home in Wolfville. Today Luke DeCicco saw a SHORT-EARED OWL flying high and headed east over University Hall, Acadia University, Wolfville. This afternoon Sheila Young reported a male EASTERN TOWHEE at her feeders at Grand Pre; she lives a few houses south of Grand Pre Historic Park interpretation building, and her phone number is 542-9639. And Helen Archibald (582-1561) apparently has a flock of about 10? BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS at her feeders on Canard St., a couple of houses east of Jawbone Corner, which is where the flashing light it at the junction of Canard St. and Highway 358 north from Port Williams. Avril Harwood saw a COYOTE along J. Jordon Road near or at Canning today. Also reported at tonightıs Blomidon Naturalists Society meeting were 3 CARDINALS at Woodside at Holly Carrıs feeders, and other single CARDINALS at the Harwoodsı home at Woodside and Richard Sternıs home north of Kentville/New Minas. And Jim Jotcham has a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT (for a couple of weeks now) at Somerset north of Berwick. And, speaking of Berwick, the recent Maritime Noon call-in show on birds on Dec. 7 contained a report that RAVENS are still problematic in town by VANDALIZING windshield wipers on cars. Finally, at about 6:30 this evening, the sky was dark and starry, and I was still able to see COMET HOLMES in the constellation of Perseus, below Cassiopeia, with my unaided eye (confirmed with binoculars.
