--Boundary_(ID_mZME9wmPhM5nD3lNduMMjw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT SEPT. 30, 2008 - This morning at my Wolfville feeder I noted my first ever sighting of a JUVENILE N. CARDINAL, very fully feathered and well fledged and feeding itself. I also saw a flash of flying red colour, presumably a male cardinal, and I will further presume it was this juvenile's father, since often the juveniles are attended earlier in the breeding season by their father while the mother starts a new nest (latter rather unlikely now). This young cardinal was nearly all a grayish brown colour, with a darkish gray beak, and there was a faint wash of light orange across the breast, perhaps indicating it was a male?? Also present among the other feeder-birds was a single dull-coloured WHITE-THROATED SPARROW.
