--Boundary_(ID_hXfo9ZWeJ7t9EZGudOOjhA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT June 23, 2009 - Bernard Forsythe got a call today about a "BABY HAWK" found on the ground and injured, adjacent to the building complex at "Railtown" along Wolfville's railroad tracks. This turned out to be an ADULT FEMALE MERLIN, and one of its wings was hurt (but perhaps not broken?). Now N.S. Dept. of Nat. Resources will transport this bird to Hope Swinimer at her Hope for Wildlife rehabilitation site at Seaforth? on the Eastern Shore. Now Bernard wonders if this merlin was part of a pair tending youngsters in a nest nearby? If so, how will the male cope with her absence? and will he be able to deliver food to the nestlings without being able to give it first to his mate, who in turn would then feed them? I can add to this, that so far this year, as far as I am aware, nobody has seen merlins going after the Wolfville chimney swifts. Actually, in the past few years, I believe we have seen no attacks on swifts at the chimney at any time of day. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville Jim (James W.)
