--Boundary_(ID_Ez2WHar23My6N4BrHzF/Yw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT APR. 21, 2010 - Gorgeous Sunny & warm day (15 C.) and again a "Spring- like" rebound. In Canning: large-toothed aspen poplar catkins open and drooping conspicuously at the Legion along the river; 40+ Canada geese in and along the river; several basking painted turtles in Harris' Pond, and a single FEMALE red-winged blackbird; and an occupied raven nest high in a lone pine a bit west of the Borden House, i.e. Merritt Gibson's house, along Main St. west of downtown. The raven nest was a pleasant surprise at mid-day. I and others have wondered what became of the ravens that used to nest in deciduous trees right above Canning's Main Street west of town up to just 2-3 years ago. It turns out that probably they didn't move very far at all! I was walking along the street and would probably not have noticed it, but the incubating raven up there called loudly and got my attention -- thank you! Maybe Merritt or Glenys Gibson or Ian Paterson will tell us now how long that nest has been there and active? Port Williams sewage ponds: at least 3-5 tree swallows, and 5 male mallards. APR. 22, 2010 - EARTH DAY!! (goes back to 1970?). Do something environmentally useful!! I usually at least pick up a couple of re- used plastic bags' or other bags' worth of litter at least!!
