Hi Jim

They were about 2 feet outside my window.  Had my "book" with me & the =
side tail
feathers were brown rather than black.  Is this not one of the keys to =
telling the difference?
Also didn't see the white patch

Learner still asking questions :-)  =20

Just got out of hospital again & as soon as I can learn how to use my =
new camera, I'll take
a couple of pictures

hugs
jackie

  Jackie, Are your house finches possibly purple finches?  House finches =
generally are seen only in Halifax and Yarmouth in N.S.  Check them out =
carefully and then get back to us on this.


   Also very few people are reporting cowbirds so you are one of the =
lucky? ones to have them.


   Cheers and thanks from Jim in Wolfville

    Hi all

    Had a lonely male house finch on the 18th & since then the #'s are =
increasing. (8 today)

    Still have lots of chickadees, northern flickers, hairy woodpeckers, =
few red breasted
    nuthatches, blue jays, juncos

    Last week was the first time in 8 yrs that we've had cedar waxwings.

    Others include golfinches, brown headed cowbirds, robins, rw =
blackbirds,
    crows, starlings, europeon starlings (gathering nesting materials), =
doves, tree
    sparrows, white throated sparrows, chirping sparrows, song sparrows, =
black ducks &
    mallards (seem to come in pairs lately), rn pheasants. odd red =
tailed hawk

    Heard the spring peepers as of the 17th & last redpoll & Downy =
woodpecker seen were
    the 18th

    Odd eagle still flying along the bay & lots or gulls going by

    Think that wraps it up for now.

    hugs
    jackie
