Sad to report that the female Baltimore Oriole that had been tending the feeders at 11 Balcome Drive died - probably in the early morning. I thought she looked unwell yesterday, but was still eating steadily. I'll miss her.

There are still, as of yesterday, the 2 Downy Woodpeckers, 10-12 Am Goldfinch, 4 Black-capped Chickadees, 12 Starlings, and 7 Mourning Doves.
Claire Diggins and I drove out to peggy's Cove today and saw Male and Female Goldeneye, 3 female Mergansers and a pair of Hodded Mergansers. COLD!

This bird is likely the same one found by Shirley Cohrs and Sylvia Fullerton at another feeder down the road and likely the same bird that was tending near the waterfront about a week ago.  Either that or there is more than one oriole in Lunenburg.  It is possible that more than one is about as two of the places are quite a bit apart from one another.
