------=_Part_78064_9206240.1226320527417 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi All: Another new yard bird for us! A *Red-bellied Woodpecker* made an appearance in our backyard yesterday in Springhill, and gave us great close-up views. We both saw the bird and watched it for a few minutes as it foraged on a dead tree in the backyard. Very nice visitor to have! I've seen a lot of posts about Snow Buntings lately in the past couple of days, so I thought I should mention we have had flocks of *Snow Buntings* in Springhill as well, one flock seen yesterday right in town by the Surette Battery Company and also just outside town on Saturday in my atlas square (20MR26) in the blueberry fields. Also in my atlas square on Saturday we saw the following birds: *Boreal Chickadees Ruby-crowned Kinglets Brown Creeper Gray Jay Evening Grosbeaks Red-tailed Hawk* Also, back in town, on one of the "black track" trails (coal) we had an immature *Bald Eagle* sit and pose on a dead tree while Jeff got some pics. On our way out of the woods on Saturday we came across the fur of a Snowshoe Hare. There were bird tracks on the ground all around the fur, something with large talons. I suspect it was either a Great Horned Owl or a Northern Goshawk that took the Hare, as both birds have been seen in this area before. Cheers, Cindy & Jeff ------=_Part_78064_9206240.1226320527417 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi All:<br> <br>Another new yard bird for us!
