This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_bHxFQZg6nlnTjSkBXOGJxw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT To: all From; John Sollows Date: Feb. 13/10 No shortage of juncos here in Yarmouth. The bluebirds re-appeared in Chebogue Feb. 7-8. We have a bad shot, taken by my wife Feb. 7. It was a cold, windy day, and seven of them were huddling against the weather. My wife got a little closer, and the little guys (inclding one brownish gal) flew up and dispersed. That led me to delay passing along the word. The discussion re. the varied thrush is very a propos. Considering the weather, we didn't do these birds any favor by trying to get a good picture. I'm glad to send our best shot of thse guys to anyone who is interested, but the picture is too big to be posted to all. Saw the house owner this evening. They evidently disappeared after Feb. 8, but reappeared briefly yesterday. On the way home from the Feb. 7 bluebird visit, on Wyman Road a turkey vulture crossed the path of the car (not at all unusual), followed by a dark raptor of apparently similar size with dark (black?) flight feathers and apparently white wing linings. The contrast between wing linings and flight feathers was striking. I presume it was an immature bald eagle, but have never seen such contrast in an illustration. Any thoughts? --Boundary_(ID_bHxFQZg6nlnTjSkBXOGJxw) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18876"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>To: all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>From; John Sollows</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Date: Feb. 13/10</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>No shortage of juncos here in Yarmouth.<BR><BR>The bluebirds re-appeared in Chebogue Feb. 7-8.
