--Boundary_(ID_72iLFV9C6CtYH8/agXbZpw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT OCT. 14, 2011 - I checked Wolfville Harbour at 3:30 p.m., a bit after high tide, for roosting shorebirds along the railroad tracks, and I found 10 greater yellowlegs, 1 probable lesser yellowlegs (appeared smaller and was not with the greaters), and 1 spotted sandpiper. Two ravens were perched atop the Railtown building and calling frequently for attention? And a local naturalist, Gisela Westphalen, told me she has been seeing a single crow in a group of 5-6 that shows a very strange beak with the upper mandible pointing upward away from the lower. One has to wonder how the crow manages to forage, but then we have all heard about similar phenomena with other species having individuals with disabilities. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_72iLFV9C6CtYH8/agXbZpw) 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. 14, 2011</b> - I checked <b>Wolfville Harbour = </b>at 3:30 p.m., a bit after high tide, for roosting shorebirds along = the railroad tracks, and I found 10<b> greater yellowlegs</b>, 1 = probable<b> lesser yellowlegs</b> (appeared smaller and was not with the = greaters), and 1 <b>spotted sandpiper</b>. </font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; = min-height: 14px; "><br></div><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">Two = <b>ravens </b>were perched atop the Railtown building and calling = frequently for attention?</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal = normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><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">And a local naturalist, Gisela Westphalen, told me she = has been seeing a single <b>crow</b> in a group of 5-6 that shows a = <b>very strange beak</b> with the <b>upper mandible pointing upward</b> = away from the lower.
