Dec. 14, 2007 - Sheila Young saw the EASTERN TOWHEE again this morning at Grand Pre (first seen Dec. 10), but no recent sightings of the GRACKLE that was there a week or more ago. At my feeders in Wolfville, I saw a single REDPOLL very briefly. Our imm. WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW is there again today, and the CHIPPING SPARROW was here yesterday. And yesterday Pat saw at least 3 CARDINALS here, and this was the first time we had 2 males at once (one female seen today). Also we had a STARLING today at a suet cake (our first feeder starling in a long time -- usually they go after the bird pies). New Minas sewage ponds: at least 5 adult ICELAND GULLS; other gulls not abundant -- about 10 herring, 1 ring-billed, and 1 great black-backed; NO DUCKS AT ALL; 1 light-phase ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK; at least 5 immature BALD EAGLES; 7+ SONG SPARROWS; whoever goes there tomorrow, check the bushes lining the lane between the two westernmost ponds for more sparrows. P.S. I was advised to CALL SATU (a woman in charge) at 690-2215 to ask for permission to check the site for birds; otherwise, the employees there are supposed to turn away members of the public, as the sign at the gate suggests.
