Carol Bernice and I went down to the Valley yesterday.  We stopped in 
Hantsport and finally got to see the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

In Grand Pre we were joined by Judy O'Brien and Giselle d'Entremont and saw 
the same Peregrine Falcon Judy Tufts saw on the top of a telephone pole, 
pulling a bird apart.

Jim Wolford's Baltimore Oriole was sitting in all of its glory in a bush at 
the side of his yard.

On Ridge Road we had great, closehand looks at a Pileated Woodpecker.  We 
also saw the large flock of siskins, redpolls and goldfinches reported by 
Richard.

Margaretsville had 51 Snow Buntings sitting on a telephone wire. Along the 
shore were 7 Harlequin Ducks and 30 Purple Sandpipers.

We returned to Wolfville and checked in to the Tattingstone for the night 
where Alan and Mary-Jane Covert were waiting for us.  After a delicious 
supper at Acton's we all headed over to Kentville to watch Liz Stern in a 
very funny play.  We returned to our rooms for wine and cheese and 
conversation.

All in all, a very civilized and satisfying day.

Don
