--0016369f9a323eff670489556548 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi folks, This morning around 10, heard and saw a BALTIMORE ORIOLE in the canopy of some mature trees (polar and maple) in a few different back yards, and in the canopy overhanging the Thomas Brook, near the junction of hwy 221 and hwy 360 (harbourville rd) in Welsford, NS. Further up the stream here is a series of beautiful old growth hemlock ravines that have somehow hung on over the years - an ecological gem. Also found a PILEATED WOODPECKER in a CAVITY approx 8 m high in an old, dead deciduous tree, in the north end of a thin, forested riparian buffer strip surrounded by agricultural fields on all sides. This is at the base of the north mountain near Welsford. She seemed to be quite attached to this cavity, calling and scouting with her head stuck out for at least 20 min, so it's *likely* she has a clutch or brood in there, but will check back. all the best, James -- James Churchill Centreville, Nova Scotia jameslchurchill@gmail.com mobile: (902) 698-3402 home: (902) 681-2374 --0016369f9a323eff670489556548 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi folks, <br>This morning around 10, heard and saw a BALTIMORE ORIOLE in t= he canopy of some mature trees (polar and maple) in a few different back ya= rds, and in the canopy overhanging the Thomas Brook, near the junction of h= wy 221 and hwy 360 (harbourville rd) in Welsford, NS.
