--Boundary_(ID_atRzgTyaeJZuoTRp3x9v4Q) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT SEPT. 23, 2011 - At our Wolfville feeders I saw a bird that would have been a difficult identification if it had not been accompanied and fed by a male n. cardinal. This made the ident. much easier, but this bird did not look like a typical newly-fledged cardinal. The size was right, ground colour OK, and had reddish hints in the brown tail, but there was no crest, the beak was not blackish but more of a gray and whitish colour, and the "shoulder" area showed a whitish or light tan mark. Anyway, this was clearly a fledged cardinal that was being attended and fed by the adult male. All of this fits in nicely with other people's observations of very late nesting activities of a variety of birds throughout the province. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_atRzgTyaeJZuoTRp3x9v4Q) 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"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>SEPT. = 23, 2011</b> - At our Wolfville feeders I saw a bird that would have = been a <b>difficult identification</b> if it had not been accompanied = and fed by a <b>male n. cardinal</b>.
