--Boundary_(ID_PWxqPn+aL3NpsxmXyjNyAg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT SEPT. 26, 2009 - A bright adult male N. CARDINAL was at the feeder today, and near him but not being attended by him were two juvenile cardinals, a male and female. SEPT. 27, 2009 - At the Deep Roots Festival, I talked with a couple from Kentville's Pleasant St. near where Richard Stern used to live. The man told me he had good numbers of HOUSE FINCHES recently, including yellow and orange variants of the male plumage. They also had numbers of PURPLE FINCHES, and it was nice to be able to compare the two species. He told me that currently they have only immatures or females of house finches. This is the same man and property where there was an overwintering CAROLINA WREN two winters ago. This man and his wife spend the summers in Smith's Cove, where they have a cottage, and winters in Kentville. SEPT. 28, 2009 - This morning below my feeders were 2 white-throated sparrows (my first for this Autumn), a chipmunk again (second sighting), at least 4 n. cardinals (all in different plumages, and at least 3 juveniles), a flicker, 6+ blue jays, 4 crows, 3 mourning doves, 3 song sparrows. A couple of days ago I had a single c. grackle but haven't seen it since. The d... blue jays have been emptying my plastic hanging tubular feeder of bl.-oil sunflower seeds every day, but I'm hoping they spill a lot of them onto the ground for the other birds and chipmunk?
