Sheila Young phoned to say that the male EASTERN TOWHEE is still present at 2165 Grand Pre Road (south of the Hist. Park). It often hangs out on the ground behind the dense short hedge below their bay window in the front of the house, along the driveway, but sometimes flies over into the cedars by the road. Has anyone been out to Cambridge to look for the reported 2 to 4 eastern towhees there?? Cheers from Jim in Wolfville ---------- From: Jim Wolford <jimwolford@eastlink.ca> Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 11:01:04 -0400 To: NatureNS <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Cc: Alison Bogan <alison@bogan.ca> Subject: clay-coloured sparrow (not chipping) at home, plus Grand Pre birds, etc. Dec. 20, 2007 - I did a bit of birding at Grand Pre today. At Sheila and Earl Youngıs feeders at 2165 Grand Pre Rd., I did NOT see the eastern towhee, but present were 1 song sparrow, 1 white-throated sparrow, lots of goldfinches and house sparrows (check the planted cedars along the road), 6+ chickadees, 6 blue jays, 10+ mourning doves. Just to the north, at 2188 Grand Pre Rd., there was a single C. GRACKLE (presumably the same one seen occasionally by the Youngs), at least 3 REDPOLLS, etc. (goldfinches, tree sparrows, hairy woodpecker, downy woodpecker, blue jays, mourning doves, starling(s)). Along the same main road across the dykelands, 10 horned larks with a single LAPLAND LONGSPUR. 10 pheasants and 2 bald eagles etc. on Long Island, north Grand Pre. Along the north end of Old Post Road, 10 SONG SPARROWS with 3 AM. TREE SPARROWS. Cheers :-) from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204 --------------------- Jim (James W.)
