I've lived in the Valley for over 40 years and have yet to see an  
Osprey in the area (Hantsport-Avonport-Gaspereau-Wolfville). I can't  
think of an instance when I've recorded seeing one anywhere in the  
upper Bay of Fundy-Minas Basin region.  I've often wondered why  
not??  Do they not like fishing where there are extreme tides?

Re R-B Nuthatches: I have two at the feeder (Avonport) every day,  
pretty much regular visits since mid-winter. For a while they were  
overlapping with two W-B Nuthatches, however, it has been two months  
since I've seen or heard the latter.
