--Boundary_(ID_ANLCy1xCLQZeIFWaQErVMQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT MAY 12, 2010 - Resting on the gravel path along the Wolfville railroad tracks was a fresh-looking adult mourning cloak butterfly. By the Acadia Arena I was surprised to see a tall small tree of pin cherry (flowering) perhaps 6 metres tall (most pin cherry bushes that I see are much smaller in stature at 3 m. or less. After a short appearance at a governments' consultation session in Wolfville on N.S. coast issues, I drove to Halifax to hear Dr. Bridget Stutchberry talk about conservation of birds and about her latest book, "The Bird Detective". In The Valley, yellow rocket (Barbarea) is conspicuously flowering everywhere along roads. CBC Radio News this evening: FIDDLEHEADS, those of ostrich fern that we eat, have just been found to be loaded with antioxidants, in fact twice as much as in blueberries, AND the fiddleheads also contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. The researchers at the agricultural research centre at Kentville are wondering now about a new cash crop that might be developed locally?
