Just confirming my oriole sighting... I was within six feet of one in my my=
 yard yesterday (Saturday), a paler orange in colour, and also have had thr=
ee male rose breasted grosbeaks and one female today. An indigo bunting has=
 been visiting my grandmother's feeder at her property on Second St.

Have a great week!

Hi,
=A0
There was an interesting bird at my grandmother's house close to her door o=
n Wednesday. I didn't see it and was not at home when she called to tell me=
 of it but from the description it sounds like an orange variant scarlet ta=
nager. The body was orangey, including the head, and the wings and tail wer=
e black and it was a little smaller than a robin. I recall a few years ago =
there was an orange scarlet tanager in the same vicinity. How frequent does=
 the orange shade occur? Have any scarlet tanagers been sighted in NS yet?
=A0
The mockingbird that first was seen by Carl Haycock is still in the same ne=
ighbourhood... I saw it again on Wednesday evening, perched on an aerial on=
 a person's house, noisily singing away.=20
=A0
I thought I saw an oriole flying away from my lilac bush last weekend, wher=
e I had an orange half stuck on a branch, but I cannot be definitive on thi=
s and did not see the bird again (it looked as if=A0it was a duller orange,=
 not bright and vibrant). However, something has been eating the oranges I =
have been putting out since late April, but that could easily be other bird=
s.=20
=A0
At my feeders this week have been purple finches, goldfinches, white throat=
ed sparrows, juncoes, chipping sparrows, white crowned sparrows, song sparr=
ows, blue jay, rose breasted grosbeaks (2).
=A0
Have a great weekend!
