--Apple-Mail-13-203826168 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed JAN. 10, 2012 - Again today there was a single brown-plumaged purple finch (female or imm. male) at our feeders. JAN. 12, 2012 - That purple finch above became two purple finches today. And a flock of waxwings, probably but not definitely cedar waxwings, visited our yard briefly at mid-day. We have been seeing cedar waxwings in our neighborhood periodically since Dec. 17/11. Our yard is loaded with hips of multiflora roses. At about 3:30 p.m. I checked the Port Williams sewage ponds for the first time in a while. I carelessly drove right up to the gate, and of course about 7 diving ducks, no doubt goldeneyes, very quickly took off and flew to the east. They left behind about 10 mallards and 3 common goldeneye females or immatures. Thus it's time to approach the ponds by parking below them, walking up the hill to the treatment building, and peeking around the edge of that building to see what is on the northernmost pond. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Apple-Mail-13-203826168 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. = 10, 2012</b> - Again today there was a single brown-plumaged <b>purple = finch</b> (female or imm. male) at our feeders.</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"><b>JAN. = 12, 2012</b> - That purple finch above became two <b>purple finches</b> = today.
