I think all the robins are here in Hubbards. Had an invasion yesterday,  
most of them chasing each other through the trees at high speed.

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.
