At first glance I thought you had a damaged redwing Jan.

      We had a pair of Red-Winged Blackbirds about two hours before Lucas p=
osted his..Lucas is just 3 kilometres east of me so possibly the same pair.=
.also a feisty Sharp-Shinned hawk and new Red breasted Nuthatch and Fox spa=
rrow. On Friday 42 Canada Geese flew into the ENE overhead..yesteday 26 mor=

  It's much too early for migrant female red-winged blackbirds, but of cour=
se the one Lucas saw might well have overwintered.  Normally migrant female=
s are a couple of weeks or more later than the early males, so that by the =
time of the annual pond-hopping King's County field trip, females will be j=
ust starting to arrive, I'll guess.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

    There are at least three fox sparrows here and I hear them singing all =
the time. They have really beautiful songs.

    I had a pheasant at my feeders for the first time, actually I have neve=
r seen a pheasant anywhere near where I live. I wonder if it=E2=80=99s been=
 released recently. I also had a pair (male and female) of red-winged black=
birds for a few seconds, my first for the year. The loons are also back, si=
nce the harbour is finally thawed out.

    MAR. 31, 2009 - In late afternoon at home I heard a loud, melodic, unfa=
miliar SONG twice, and I'll bet it was the FOX SPARROW that, as of yesterda=
y, has been hanging around my yard and feeders for a week or more? When I p=
layed the fox sparrow song on the set of Stokes CDs, it had quite a bit of =
likeness of what I had heard. Hopefully I will hear it some more before it =
migrates north!? Then at 7:15 p.m. I saw the FOX SPARROW again at the feede=
rs -- just a coincidence?

    And Pat Dix at  Greenwich , across the highway from Harold Forsyth's ho=
use, saw a GRAY SQUIRREL again.
