  Subject: black gray squirrel in Windsor, merlins, rat + chipmunk


  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
