--Boundary_(ID_u4+Lsu9pdqrSVx52SFnguw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT JUNE 28, 2009 - 40th Wedding Anniversary for Joanne and Doug Linzey on the Brow of the North Mountain, west of The Lookoff. At the gathering there, Joanne showed us a DARK-EYED JUNCO NEST on the ground in their garden. The nest was covered by the female junco, who now apparently has tiny babies under her, and we watched the diligent male deliver food to the nest twice. The female sat tight while being examined fairly closely (2 metres or less?) several times, and her little heart must have been really racing. In Wolfville, Pat and I have been watching a pair of SONG SPARROWS busily bringing food for babies to a NEST in a very dense coniferous shrub whose identity we don't know -- it has very dense and prickly needles. The nest is about 4 feet high, about a foot below the top, and those feedings stopped a couple of days ago (thus the youngsters must have fledged then, and just today we looked to find the nest). Also, on our walk today in our neighbourhood, a planted SNOWBERRY? (Symphoricarpos sp.) bush is in bloom, with lovely small pink-and- white blossoms. And two TULIP TREES at the south end of Kent Ave. are in bloom, and this is a bit early, I believe. In Canning I saw two shrubs or small trees of CLAMMY LOCUST or ROSE ACACIA (Robinia viscosa) in full bloom north of town along the road to The Lookoff. I know that BLACK LOCUST or "ACACIA" (Robinia pseudoacacia) is still in bloom in Wolfville, and I will have to check to see whether Wolfville's BRISTLY LOCUST or ROSE ACACIA (Robinia hispida) colony along University Ave., just south of the campus, is also flowering now. In Wolfville we noted some badly chewed up tiger lily plants and found a single bright red LILY BEETLE near one of those plants. A few years ago we found quite a few of the lily beetles in our own yard, but I guess we were thorough about destroying the ones we found, because we haven't seen any there since then.
