Index of Subjects I saw two Shrikes today. One in my grapevine (a regular who is getting lucky from time to time) and the other going aboard road kill (might have been a Robin) just past Broad Cove after going down the Lahave through Cherry Hill, etc to get back to the 103. Many, many very red and fat looking Robins going everywhere along the road today. Still no sign of life at the osprey nest off the 103 at Hebbville yet. Twigs made it through the winter and were mounded high with snow this morning when I went by. Marg Millard, White Point, Queens http://margmillard.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "James W.
