This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_MHatXYyghwbFcwAbKivvfQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT ----- Original Message ----- From: Hans Toom To: NS-RBA Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 12:27 PM Subject: Townsend's Solitaire I spotted a Townsend's Solitaire this morning lurking in the multiflora bramble that envelops my front yard platform feeder. I first saw this bird about 3-4 weeks ago but couldn't confirm the sighting since I only saw a 1/2 second flash of a mid sized grey thrush, with a small bill and white outer tail flashings. If you want to see this bird park in the parking area by the mail boxes at Camperdown Road and Ketch Harbour Road and walk down to my place. Go no more than 10 metres up the driveway and look to the bramble to your right over the feeder. Please avoid the back yard as visits here tend to scatter birds. The Red-bellied Woodpecker visited again yesterday but I haven't seen it today yet. Until the temperatures fall and we start to get hard frosts birds will not be reliable around my place. Hans PS A previous resident of this house was killed walking beside Ketch Harbour Road near our place. The morons driving cars like to race past here and pass each other over the double line. Parking on the narrow shoulder only creates a more dangerous situation for everybody. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hans Toom Portuguese Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada http://www.hanstoom.com/ --Boundary_(ID_MHatXYyghwbFcwAbKivvfQ) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.19154"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=htoom@hfx.eastlink.ca href="mailto:htoom@hfx.eastlink.ca">Hans Toom</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>To:</B> <A title=NS-RBA@yahoogroups.com href="mailto:NS-RBA@yahoogroups.com">NS-RBA</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>Sent:</B> Monday, November 21, 2011 12:27 PM</DIV> <DIV><B>Subject:</B> Townsend's Solitaire</DIV></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I spotted a <STRONG>Townsend's Solitaire</STRONG> this morning lurking in the multiflora bramble that envelops my front yard platform feeder.
