Hi there,

	My friend Jean Hartley, who is able to visit the  Frog Pond in 
Fleming Park more frequently than I can, has found some interesting 
migrants there recently.  On 4 November she saw a female Ruddy Duck, 
which is the first time I have heard of that species there.  The 
following day, when she checked again, she found it had been joined 
by a Ring-necked Duck, a regular spring and fall visitor here.  On 8 
November, she found a Sora in the cattail marsh at the first 
boardwalk around the pond.  Carol Klar came along in time to see it 
as well.  I've been visiting this park for a number of years and have 
been compiling records of birds and plants there.  While I'm sorry I 
missed seeing the Ruddy Duck and the Sora myself, I'm delighted to 
think that these less common birds also use this suburban park in migration.

	Cheers,

	Patricia L. Chalmers
	Halifax
