--Boundary_(ID_xtF0zfENY0FMvlPbPWHnQA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT OCT. 11, 2011 - Yesterday I heard a singing white-throated sparrow in our Wolfville yard (but none have appeared recently at our feeders, just 4+ song sparrows), and I also heard a robin there yesterday. Then this morning Pat saw a robin in our yard, but so far we have only seen/heard a single robin. OCT. 12, 2011 - The first dark-eyed junco of the Autumn showed up at our feeders. I checked on Wolfville Harbour 2 hours after high tide in mid- afternoon: 2 unidentified yellowlegs (and possibly 2 more?), and 2 smaller unidentified shorebirds. OCT. 13, 2011 - Today I saw 4 juvenile n. cardinals at once, perhaps a single brood, at our feeders, without seeing any adults: there were 2 juvenile males, both quite reddish-orange, and 2 juvenile females, all fully fledged and foraging on the ground on their own. Also there was a single white-throated sparrow (see Oct. 11 above). Other birds at the feeders included 3 mourning doves, a downy woodpecker, 4+ blue jays, strangely no chickadees at all, 1 starling, several song sparrows, a goldfinch, and (overnight) at least one raccoon. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_xtF0zfENY0FMvlPbPWHnQA) 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>OCT. = 11, 2011</b> - Yesterday I heard a <b>singing white-throated sparrow</b> = in our Wolfville yard (but none have appeared recently at our feeders, = just 4+<b> song sparrows</b>), and I also heard a <b>robin</b> there = yesterday.
