I saw and photographed what was probably the White-fronted Goose seen by Bruce Stevens et al. earlier in the month on Oct. 25 from the Wharf at Big I., but we could not find it Oct.27. An imm. Red-headed Woodpecker was reported by Rob Reid at his Kirkmount peanut feeder Oct.24 and I saw it on the 25th. It was very aggressive chasing everything that came near the peanuts. cheers ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Whitman" <dendroica.caerulescens@gmail.com> To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 8:59 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Snow Buntings feeling right at home > There were three Snow Buntings at East Point, aka The Guzzle, N.
