OCT. 17, 2009 - I forgot to mention two things yesterday: my Norway
rat is back at my feeders, and again today; and there were about 10
Canada geese at the Windsor sewage ponds. Which reminds me, Pat told
me there were oodles of Canada geese all day long last Tuesday, Oct.
13/09, in the big field adjacent to the Hants Community Hospital in
Windsor.
In Harris' Pond in Canning at 2 p.m. there were 100 Canada geese and
no obvious ducks at all.
More exciting, in Lakeville's Silver Lake at 4 to 4:30 p.m., was an
impressive honking gaggle? of about 500 Canada geese on the water,
with no marked geese nor other species of goose. Some of the geese
were splashing and moving a lot, and it took me a while to figure out
that they were just bathing. Also present was a very active group of
about 20 diving hooded mergansers, and a single pied-billed grebe
that was not diving nor trying to hide at all.
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

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.
