--Boundary_(ID_uGH3/sDD9IBrATp+c7notg) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT APRIL 1, 2011 - ALL FOOLS' DAY (see p. A2 of today's Chronicle Herald for historical reference), better known as APRIL FOOLS' DAY. I like the former term, especially to go with the pronouncements and attack- ads from unnamed political leaders on the stumps! Canning: 2 green-winged teals (m,f pr) in river but no geese seen at all. Canard Pond: 2 Canada geese (likely a new, young pair), 7 female or immature common mergansers, and 6 Am. black ducks. Canard St. bald eagle nest: presumed female sitting in nest steadfastly, in weather that was changing and getting quite windy and cold (the lot of incubating eagles, ravens, great horned owls, etc., at this time of year. Not long after this, the east wind (nor'easter in progress) became very strong and cold and delivered a very wet blizzard, leaving just a couple of centimetres of accumulation, then freezing rain, and apparently icy roads, since two cars had an accident on Hwy. 358 very close to the Canard River bridge. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_uGH3/sDD9IBrATp+c7notg) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"5" style=3D"font: normal normal normal = 20px/normal Helvetica; "><b>APRIL 1, 2011 - ALL FOOLS' DAY </b>(see = p.
