March 1, 2008 - This is a PRE-STORM DAY (a Œnoreaster¹ coming this afternoon and overnight), and this morning¹s feeder-birds were abundant and energetic/frenetic about foraging, particularly a short-lived and small ³invasion² of COMMON REDP0LLS, about 20+ of which literally covered our hanging Niger-seed feeder and fed on the ground, too. Later in the day I noticed a few PINE SISKINS and a couple of AM. GOLDFINCHES, too. Also seen were about 20 juncos, 10 white-throated sparrows, the CLAY-COLOURED SPARROW, the imm. WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, a mourning dove, a red squirrel, a couple of pheasants and crows and rock pigeons. We haven¹t seen anything of our 1-2 N. FLICKERS for at least a couple of weeks, and visits from DOWNY and HAIRY WOODPECKERS are only occasional. Mar. 2, 2008 - Blizzard to snow flurries most of today with strong wind from the west and north. This morning we saw a huge flock of 800+ WAXWINGS, presumably BOHEMIANS, in our neighborhood of Wolfville. Cheers :-) from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204 --------------------- Jim (James W.)
