Hi there,
Today at lunchtime, when I was walking home along Cambridge
Street, a local resident introduced me to another as the
"neighbourhood naturalist". The woman I met immediately wanted to
tell me about the most beautiful and unusual yellowy-green bird which
she had seen yesterday afternoon (9th December). She saw it in the
backyard of a house on the south end of Coburg Road, which backs onto
Waegwoltic Avenue. I asked her about the size of the bird and she was
a little vague about that - bigger than a chickadee, perhaps
... However from the description I am pretty sure that the bird she
saw was the Summer Tanager.
Incidentally, Etta Parker who lives in the area told Laurel
Banks that the bird had been present for several weeks already when I
reported it!

Hi there,<br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier"><x-tab>
</x-tab>Today at
lunchtime I saw a female Summer Tanager on Waegwoltic Avenue, just east
of Conrose Field, in south end Halifax. Laurel Banks first saw it
on Wednesday in her backyard, and it has been frequenting the
neighborhood since then. It was seen flycatching around brick
chimneys, and moving between the shrubs, in front of several houses on
Waegwoltic Avenue between Conrose Avenue and Cambridge Street. It
should be looked for in the backyards bounded by Waegwoltic, Geldert,
Cambridge, and Conrose. Another good spot to look would be in the
tangles along the footpath between Conrose Field and Coburg Road.
It moves around quickly but was often in the open, so it wasn't that hard
to see.</font></blockquote></body>
