Hi there,

	Early this morning I saw something I haven't seen before.  A Song 
Sparrow was repeatedly fluttering up against the rear-view mirror of 
a car parked on Shirley Street in central Halifax.  It was attacking, 
or at least flying in the face of, its reflection in the 
mirror.  Territorial behaviour,  I expect.  I've seen Northern 
Cardinals and American Robins do this, but never Song Sparrows.

	I saw several small flocks of Common Grackles, which have become 
more numerous in Halifax in the last couple of days.
