Hi all:
=20
A ways back I sent a report through with a story about a brown creeper that=
was roosting in a horse barn during the night and then in a chicken coop a=
nd then in a cellarway amidst a hole it had made in insulation. The report=
ees had told me that the bird was a brown creeper=2C but have since realize=
d that it actually is a Carolina wren. The confusion came from only having=
seen it back on in the barn and a quick look as the bird whizzed past them=
as it rushed out of the barn in the morning and back in the evening and al=
ways seeing a brown creeper around the yard right after the fact. =20
=20
Recently the bird has habits of sitting out in the open for long periods an=
d upon getting better looks it turned out to be a Carolina Wren. This bird =
has been present roughly for six months now. Dorothy Poole and I went to s=
ee it today. We heard it call initially and then waited almost an hour bef=
ore it started calling repeatedly. The wren then started to scold profusel=
y. A short time later it flew into the feeders about five or six feet from=
us and provided excellent viewing. =20
=20
The property owners have given consent for those that wish to try for this =
bird. They would like to be phoned first to let them know you are coming. =
The property owners are Peter and Heather Tunnah and their phone number is=
902-685-2359. Directions to get to the wren are as follows: Take the Wil=
eville turn off at the 103. Drive inland towards Wileville and keep going =
until you see a road to the left marked Lapland/Laconia. Drive the paved p=
art of this road until you reach gravel. Do not turn off at the first road=
to the right=2C but take the second which is marked Laconia. Drive in tha=
t road until you see Jefferson Road to your left. The first house=2C 51 on=
the left is the site of the Carolina Wren. =20
=20
The feeders at the property were hopping today with at least seven red-brea=
sted nuthatches and oodles of other species. We also heard crossbills fly =
over.

At Waterloo there was a flock of 40 snow buntings.
