Hi Folks:
Nick and I drove up to Cape Breton on Tuesday and along the way, saw the usual suspects-Crows, Starlings, Rock Doves, Mallards, Black Ducks, (including the weird coloured ones in Truro). Stopped in Pictou Landing where a friend reported that she saw "Snow Birds catching seeds in the wind". Well, I just had to go and see these" Snow Birds" (who I always thought wintered in Florida and laid on the beach, drinking drinks with little umbrellas). None were seen at Pictou Landing but we drove a little further to Melmerby Beach where we spotted a flock of Snow Buntings and Nick thought he saw a Woodpecker with a red-head-he said it was not a Northern Flicker, or a Red-bellied but a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. I don't believe him but I did see a woodpecker fly by and heard it "squeak."
On our way back today, we saw several Bald Eagles which is not really noteworthy for Cape Breton as the locals say they are common as the Crows up there. However, I did get a comment from a friend that last fall, up in Membertou, at the ball field there were quite a number of Crows with white "spots" on the wings. This is the second report that I received and both times I have asked folks to see about getting a picture. My Sibley book states that Crows can have variable white wing patches which is rare but is regular. I will be in Membertou next week so I will keep an eye out for these white winged crows and hopefully I will get a picture.
Pictures of the snow buntings and the weird coloured Mallards are at my web gallery: http://gallery.me.com/tumayoung
