Hi Jim and others:
=20
Some friends went to the eagle watch on Saturday and they took a picture of=
 two groups of white birds flying high in V formation above the eagle watch=
 area.  Has anyone else reported or noted this.  From the photos which are =
not the best they suggest two separate groups one behind the other of snow =
geese. =20

Jan. 30=2C 2011 (Eagle Watch=2C cont.) - Another highlight of sorts was rep=
orted twice to me in the hall: apparently at least 3 would-be photographers=
 at the feeding site west of the hall had folding chairs for their comfort =
in waiting long periods for some eagle activity -- weather was perfect for =
spending lots of time outdoors.   Also I heard from friends that at least s=
ix cars at the feeding/viewing site had Quebec license plates=2C and I talk=
ed with a few Quebecois in the community hall.
------------------------
At home we got a call from south Kentville about a large bird that was foun=
d dead=2C presumably window-killed=2C this morning -- the finders identifie=
d it as an immature red-tailed hawk?=2C BUT NO=2C when I picked it up today=
 from them=2C it was a ruffed grouse!  It has now been deposited in a freez=
er of Acadia Univ. Biology=2C along with a presumed road-kill barred owl fo=
und dead in Kentville by Bob Cote on Jan. 28.


Also Sherman Bleakney returned to Wolfville on Jan. 27th after a month in T=
oronto=2C and all of his feeder-birds from mid-December were still present=
=2C including his bright pine warbler.  Sherman's house is at the top of Ke=
nt Ave.=2C #84=2C and the feeders are all in his back yard close to the hou=
se and his desk window -- his phone number is 542-3604.


Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. 		 	   		  =
