Dec. 16, 2007 - Both our CHIPPING and imm. WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS (one of
each) are still present at the feeders, and out 2 female CARDINALS have
become regulars (we havenıt seen a male in a few days).

Just south of our house was a big flock of about 120 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, the
first waxwings of either kind that I have seen this winter.

Dec. 19, 2007 - At our Wolfville feeders, I saw a male CARDINAL for the
first time in a week or more, plus one of our 2 female CARDINALS, and both
the CHIPPING and imm. WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS are still present.

I heard second-hand that George Forsyth saw a male BARROWıS GOLDENEYE in the
Port Williams sewage/sewer ponds on Sunday, Dec. 16/07; I looked there
yesterday and saw poorly a male goldeneye fly off from there; today I was
stealthy and found a single male COMMON GOLDENEYE there with about 15
MALLARDS.
