Hi Randy & All, May 14, 2009
I assume Saw-whet populations might decline if small rodent populations
were low.
Perhaps the low mouse activity at North Alton (Feb 19 e-mail) was not
restricted to NA.
I have never previously seen a winter with so much ice cover at soil
level; perhaps due to prolonged cold, windy periods in Jan when snow cover
was thin.
Ice was a chronic problem in the Kentville yard this winter, the sales
of driveway salt were 3X normal (according to a news clip on ATV) and when
the snow melted at North Alton, many areas had >3 inches of hard ice at soil
level; not mouse friendly.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
