--0015174c0f0263f75a0479878e09 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello Everyone: We have had a female *Northern Flicker* hanging around our yard for about a week now. I've mostly seen it pecking at the ground but today it went to our suet. I've read in my Birds of NS book that "Flickers present after mid-November probably will attempt to winter, and that some have been recorded in Christmas Bird Counts but few have been seen in late winter, suggesting that most do not survive." Around this time last year we had a Red-bellied Woodpecker that visited our feeders every day until late January. We had a Sharp-shinned Hawk staking out our feeders around the time that it went missing. We saw it get a Starling and a Hairy Woodpecker but never saw any evidence of the Red-belly - he just disappeared. :( On a logging road just outside town about two weeks ago, we saw three *Snow Buntings.* On the road by the sewage lagoon about one week ago Jeff saw a larger flock of *Snow Buntings*. On October 27, deep in an old-growth forest near Fenwick (just outside Springhill), we startled a *Northern Goshawk. * Our feeders have been quiet this year compared to last year. Our regular feeder visitors are: *Hairy Woodpeckers* *Downy Woodpeckers* *American Goldfinches* *Black-capped Chickadees* *White-breasted Nuthatches (pair)* *European Starlings* *Blue Jays* * * Earlier this month we had some *Mourning Doves* and also the odd *Pine Siskin* showed up, but neither has been seen for awhile.
