A Sharp-shinned Hawk has been doing quite well at our feeders by, 
presumably, attacking from the East and driving birds into our patio 
door glass. Although I believe it is the same bird, the incidents 
have happened over a period of a month. The first one involved a 
single Junco which was stunned but snatched quickly by the hawk. The 
second incident involved two Goldfinches; both hit the glass, one was 
killed instantly from a broken neck but the other survived although 
it took over a hour to recover (& we did aid it by giving it water & 
hiding it somewhat). The third involved a single Chickadee which was 
stunned but picked up & eaten quickly. Maybe the attacks are not as 
planned as they seem ......

Today on Hwy. 101 just east of New Minas a Goshawk flew across the 
road & just west of Wolfville, a hummingbird darted across.

Which reminds me.....about two weeks ago a person reported a 
hummingbird coming to a feeder in Berwick.
