Hi everyone:

On the day of the West Hants CBC,  I was at the Sure-Gain in the  
Windsor Industrial Park as they normally have a flock of house sparrows  
that live in the stack of empty pallaets near the loading area. I  
talking to one of the workers there, ash they do throw bird seed out on  
the driveway for the birds. She said that about a week before, she had  
seen a small number of finch-sized birds that had a body that was black  
and white, and the head was mostly red and yellow. She mentioned it to  
a friend who had seen several in Gore. That person had heard something  
on the radio about them being a relatively new bird that was expanding  
its range northward.

I don't think that she was pulling my leg, but I really have no idea  
what this bird could have been. I did ask them to call me if they  
returned, but so far no sign of them...
