You already know about the oriole in our yard, but here's a bit more... Feb. 9, 2008 - Pat and I were surprised and delighted to behold a new species for our Wolfville yard, a BALTIMORE ORIOLE with bright orange underparts, probably a very colourful female? (the wing-bars show no hint of maleness (yet?). HALIFAX FIELD NATURALISTS FIELD TRIP TO HOPE SWINIMER¹S HOPE FOR WILDLIFE SOCIETY¹S wildlife rehabilitation centre at Head of Chezetcook/Seaforth, Eastern Shore. Check out http://www.hopeforwildlife.net for more info¹. There were 22 of us, and it was a great tour from Hope and Rhonda? More on this later... At Sullivan¹s Pond in Dartmouth, Pat and I noted 3 AM. COOTS, a male GADWALL, 10+ AM. WIGEONS, 2 small all-white ducks (domestics), and 2 BLACK-HEADED GULLS. Feb. 11, 2008 - BIG DUMP OF SNOW, perhaps 20-25 cm. or so, over yesterday and overnight and continuing a bit this morning. Our BALTIMORE ORIOLE was right at our feeders, mostly on a bird pie; other ³customers² included 15++ common redpolls and about 10+ goldfinches (more of both than our usual menagerie), etc. About 10 AM. ROBINS were near our yard, and, probably not coincidentally, about 75 WAXWINGS, presumably Bohemians but not identified.
