Avril and John Harwood at Woodside, north of Canning, had a flock of  
8 eastern bluebirds for an extended period of the winter, perhaps  
about 2 decades ago?? or before 1986??

I have copied this to them, who might be able to tell us when that  
was -- note the "bluebird" in their e-mail address.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
