--Boundary_(ID_7UVOpU+IvpQvk+eOvv6CaQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT EB. 1, 2010 - Today our occasional red-breasted nuthatch showed up briefly at the feeders. A couple of days ago we saw a male flicker, and unusually a downy woodpecker was at the safflower-seed feeder -- mainly the chickadees and cardinals like the safflower seeds, which I buy at Shur-Gain in Port Williams. FEB. 3, 2010 - Today at our feeders a very SMALL SPARROW appeared -- either a chipping sparrow, most likely, or a clay-coloured sparrow, hopefully to be determined on its return. Bernard Forsythe tells me that there is a small flock of about 5 chipping sparrows overwintering just east of Hennigar's Farm Market at Greenwich, in and around a thicket of Japanese knotweed and probably visiting a nearby feeder. Also recently Bernard was walking in the southernmost part of the Acadia Woodland Trails and found a mixed flock of cedar and Bohemian waxwings, which were feeding on the abundant berries of glossy buckthorn there. Also for the Eagles/Raptors Count on Jan. 31, I hoped to add Bernard Forsythe's BARRED OWL(S) on Wolfville Ridge, but for some reason neither one came to be fed this evening in Bernard's back yard (although they did so on previous and following eves).
