Wolfville area


  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.=20


  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.=20


  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.=20


  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
