--Apple-Mail-7--24879321 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed JAN. 7, 2012 - On our neighborhood walk Pat & I saw about 25 waxwings, and, from their relative silence to my ears, I guessed they were cedar waxwings? We also heard a woodpecker drumming, which was a surprise -- perhaps a downy woodpecker? (unseen). At our home feeders a junco was about 2 metres high to feed on a bird pie, which is unusual. Sheila McCurdy in east Wolfville had a Baltimore oriole visit/ revisit? her feeders this morning. A similar oriole was seen back in late December there, but then Sheila has been away after that. Meanwhile, further east in Wolfville, Brenda & Bill Thexton have not seen either of their two Baltimore orioles since about 10 days ago, when the bright one (imm. male?) was last seen. JAN. 8, 2012 - A male flicker turned up at our feeders (a female has been regular there), and I saw 3 cardinals there today (a male & 2 females). JAN. 9, 2012 - Sheila McCurdy in Wolfville just off Sherwood Ave. on Dale reports her male Baltimore oriole looked glorious in the Sun today (and was seen also on Jan. 7). The two orioles that were in east-end Wolfville at two different feeders have not been seen for at least 10 days. Sheila and Earl Young, the renown bird-carvers at Grand Pre along the road north to the historic park, report that their female red-bellied woodpecker is still in their neighbourhood, despite the Youngs' absence and empty feeders after about Dec. 22 and until their very recent return. This is one of at least four red-bellieds seen on Dec. 17 during the Wolfville Xmas Count. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Apple-Mail-7--24879321 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII <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>JAN. = 7, 2012</b> - On our neighborhood walk Pat & I saw about 25 = waxwings, and, from their relative silence to my ears, I guessed they = were<b> cedar waxwings</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">We also heard a <b>woodpecker drumming</b>, which was = a surprise -- perhaps a downy woodpecker?
