--Boundary_(ID_zK5kmG0bYttPj+5s6ya0uA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT MARCH 17, 2011 - Several song sparrows were singing at home this morning. On my walk from home to Wolfville downtown, I again checked the raven nest just north of the Acadia Arena, and today there was a raven in the nest in incubation posture (who knows what stage this pair is at?), and a second raven calling and flying very nearby. MARCH 18, 2011 - This may not be particularly important, but my overwintered song sparrow cloned itself into two different individuals -- first noticed today. And, much worse news, a big ugly Norway rat has appeared at the feeders and inside our garden shed -- hopefully I can trap and remove it fairly quickly, but they are cagy and trap-wary. Roy Bishop at Avonport reports that his dull-coloured pine warbler is still at his feeders, esp. a bird biscuit? (bird pie?), and also both yesterday and today his feeders hosted about 30 common redpolls, the first he has seen this winter. Now I wonder if Sherman Bleakney here in Wolfville still has his overwintered bright pine warbler?
