--Boundary_(ID_2r8VBLE3vg1lvlPNIm9CIA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT MAY 16, 2010 - Lovely Sunny day but windy, and Pat & I had a short walk this afternoon in Palmeter's Woods in w. Kentville. Birds seen or heard: e. phoebe singing near the first bridge on the path, I saw both least flycatcher and northern parula warbler delivering their songs, several yellow-rumped warblers, black-capped chickadee, robins, downy woodpecker. Flowers: bunchberry, starflower, wild sarsaparilla or Aralia just starting, serviceberry or shadbush, pin cherry, apple, flowering crab?, wild strawberry, and, on lawns, pussy-toes and thyme-leaved speedwell. ----------------- In the evening at dusk we looked out at the feeders just before I went out to bring them into our shed for the night, because of raccoons. And guess what? One raccoon was hanging on and eating sunflower seeds from one feeder, and a second raccoon was on the ground getting the spills from the upper one! Actually my raccoons have been very polite of late, having learned how to empty the sunflower-seed feeders without damaging them.
