APRIL 13, 2011 - Pat Kelly saw a V-shaped flock of what he thought  
were geese this morning at Falmouth, but a second look revealed they  
were cormorants (about 12 presumed double-crested).  These were  
heading toward the Minas Basin shore, and I wonder if they were new  
Spring arrivals?

APRIL 14, 2011 - Again I saw an upside-down bird on the peanut  
feeder: a white-breasted nuthatch.  And at late dusk when viewing was  
very difficult, a female cardinal came to feed on the ground below  
the feeders.  Our resident male cardinal has been singing a very  
often over the past 10 days or more.

APRIL 16, 2011 - Just upstream from the Canning Aboiteau were 110  
Canada geese, in the water and feeding on the bank and in corn stubble.

APRIL 18, 2011 - In Lockhart & Ryan Park in New Minas, lots of  
Mayflowers in bloom.

PLEASE everyone VOTE on May 2 or earlier! (Pat & I voted early already).

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
