--Boundary_(ID_ziWzYnGOckz1zXJY0ydlRw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Marg, this wish is much too late!! They are here and extremely established and abundant, especially here in the Valley, and their big pre-roosting aerial flocks and lines on wires are sensations of note. I have seen videos before of Old World starlings, and they are indeed spectacular. And I'm sure the immense flocks of starlings in fall/winter in the mid- and southern states of the U.S.A., along with flocks of red-wings and other blackbirds/grackles, are similarly impressive. *****But the Fundy migrant shorebirds, esp. the semip' sandpipers, deserve similar mention, and they are symbols of how special the Upper Bay of Fundy is as an ecosystem worthy of everyone's votes (note the plural) for the New7Wonders of Nature, at VoteMyFundy.com . ***** The final seven candidates will be announced on November 11, 2011, and there are less than 7 days left for voting. I think we are allowed one vote per day (each one is for our top 7 favourites from a list of 28 sites including Bay of Fundy the Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, the Amazon, the Galapagos, etc. VOTE FOR FUNDY!
