JAN. 11, 2010 - 5 cardinals appeared at my home feeders this morning,  
along with 8 white-throated sparrows etc., and a male flicker  
attempted to feed on a small piece of commercial suet with an  
immature male hairy woodpecker.  They were both successful for at  
least a short time.  Regarding the flicker, we also have a regular  
female flicker, but I didn't see her this morning.

Fred Phillips tells me he very recently saw an ALL WHITE EAGLE ??? in  
New Minas.  I told him I doubt this very much, and that perhaps he  
saw an all-white gull? but he flatly denied that -- anyway, he is not  
a regular observer nor reporter on birds.

JAN. 12, 2010 - Today at our feeders, there was a female flicker, a  
single junco, 4 goldfinches, the usual single song sparrow, etc.

Darrell Slauenwhite was very surprised about 10 days ago when a  
CHIPMUNK appeared in his yard at Lockartville (e. of Avonport), and  
he saw it daily or nearly so until yesterday.  He also told me that  
fairly recently there were 2 black variants of the red squirrel in  
his neighborhood for about 2 years, but they have disappeared.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
