> Vault Rd., Annapolis Cty.
> They watched 8 Turkey Vultures drafting above the hill that is to  
> the north of their home.  One of the Vultures perched in a 'snag'  
> near their home allowing the Brunts a good view with binoculars.   
> The vulture was "large with an obvious red face!"

> Ed Hynes reported that their daughter in Mahone Bay saw a Blue Jay  
> capture and eat a vole that was near their feeders. I cannot recall  
> having read or heard a similar report; so I'd say this is a good  
> example of being in the right place at the right time

> The pair of Merlins that Ed reported about a month ago near their  
> home on Ward Rd. Annapolis Cty are still active and prompted Ed to  
> ask if they might be responsible for the disappearance, in the last  
> 24 hours, of the RT Hummingbirds that come to their feeders.
> I suggested that this was very unlikely. The Hynes mentioned that  
> their neighbours have an abundance of flowers that are blossoming.   
> I suggested that the hummers may have opted for some natural food.

> Cheers, Barbara and Pat
