SEPT. 22, 2010 - In downtown Wolfville a presumed racing pigeon (rock  
pigeon) with 2 plastic bands was found and hand-caught in a narrow  
alley-way between Joe's Food Emporium and an adjacent building in mid- 
afternoon.  The left leg had a yellow or light green band, and the  
right had a medium-dark green band with the number 438 written on  
it.  The pigeon foraged on the sidewalk, not very warily, for a while  
and then flew away strongly across the street and out of sight.

I hope that NSDNR or someone on NatureNS can supply the way to report  
this obviously owned pigeon?

Wolfville Harbour at a half-hour after high tide: 17 greater  
yellowlegs (no lessers with them -- definite (super views) -- and a  
single spotted sandpiper was separate from the yellowlegs.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
