--Boundary_(ID_yUYMZNEVMblMeV3Xju/Slg) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT FEB. 24, 2011 - I checked the downtown Wolfville small-tree fruits that the Bohemian waxwings were eating yesterday, and are on dangling pedicels several cm. long and probably from individual dense flowers -- the fruits are soft inside with pinkish-orange flesh, probably some kind of planted ornamental cherry? Once again, and probably my last check, I looked for the nearly-all- white red-tailed hawk at Hortonville on the Kenny farm, se. of Just Us! Coffee Roastery and Cafe. No sign of it, but I did see, as usual this year, a normally pigmented red-tailed hawk there. The very white individual spent at least nine winters in that area faithfully, but we never knew where it went in summer, nor whether it ever got a chance to spread its genes to any offspring. Presumably it somehow met its demise, but we don't really know that either. I also drove around north of Grand Pre, but I didn't see anything remarkable on this glorious, Sunny, warm day with light wind -- just the 2 red-tailed hawks that are usually along the power poles on the north-south paved road, plus 2 pheasants on Long Island.
