OCTOBER 1, 2009 - "My" Norway rat is still coming & going re my  
feeders, plus the chipmunk; only one cardinal, a young female, seen  
today.

I saw and heard a merlin on campus, just west of the Acadia Univ.  
Library, and saw another merlin near the old Wolfville hospital.

At today's Acadia Biology Seminar (on most Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. in  
Biol. bldg., room 322 -- all welcome), Howie Huynh told me that very  
recently someone trapped and photographed a black-phase gray squirrel  
in Windsor (my first record for Windsor, I believe), and the animal/ 
specimen is going to the Wildlife Division of N.S. Dept. of Nat.  
Resources in Kentville.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

"In wildness is the preservation of the world" -- Henry David Thoreau

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn  
from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent  
disinclination to do so.

Humans aren't the only species on the earth - we just act like it.
