Index of Subjects What a gorgeous day it is here!!! It has been an interesting week here in White Point. Things had gotten fairly quiet traffic wise, ( various songs were wafting through the skies, so beautiful!!) We had the usuals; the chickadees, juncos, starlings, Blue Jays and Sparrows: Song and White throats. Numerous Mourning doves, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers who seem to have been coming in pairs. After the snow the more of the above especially juncos and Blue Jays; Northern Flickers, I believe there are two gorgeous birds at least, came back to the seedcake and feeder as did the American tree sparrow as well as a couple nuthatches. One was for sure a red breasted and I think the other was white but it was flitting about so quickly while I was trying to finish something I was doing I can't say for sure. There are two American tree sparrows today. The robin is back. One spent all last winter with us and we fed it extremely ripe apples donated by Hebbs in Hebbville. The other day we saw three in the hawthorn trees out front. One stayed and stayed so we hauled frozen apples from the deep freeze, stepped out the door and it went right to the spot where we fed it last year and waited for the apples. It is still here. Makes me ponder the feeding of birds and their expectations.....I know some think this is crazy but .........our realtor is pushing the property as a bird haven which I very much appreciate. Still no idea of where or when we will be moving, of course. For health reasons we need to get closer to town. Interest in the property has been expressed and someone is coming back for another viewing bringing another member of his family with him. Scary actually. Hope people are getting out and about today. Our snowdrops were up, just barely but showing buds with white, and that snow will work as a greenhouse and bring them along. Marg Millard White Point, Queens http://MargMillard.ca
