--Apple-Mail-12--236866412 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed APRIL 14, 2012 - On Pat's and my walk in our neighbourhood, the garden flowers were striking, compared with previous days, especially regarding the crocuses, which are now everywhere in good numbers. But I still have seen only a couple of honey bees. Also Forsythia is starting to bloom, plus lots of small blue scillas and/or their look-alikes. For some new news on honey bees and colony collapse syndrome, check out Bob Fournier's "Science Corner" of about 2 or 3 Wednesdays ago, on cbc.ca/informationmorningns/sciencecorner/ . White-flowering magnolia trees are starting to bloom now, and the pink-flowered trees will follow in a few days. APRIL 15, 2012 - "Cheeseburger" calls of black-capped chickadees at home in Wolfville yesterday and today. Stella's Pond: no change with Can. goose incubating on island nest plus its mate? on the pond's water. Gesner's Pond: one lovely adult great blue heron (and another one seen flying s. of Port Williams). Kidston's Pond: one pair of Canada geese plus about 15 ring-necked ducks (all of them males, not a single female) + 3 mallards. Port Williams sewage ponds: only a single black duck, and 6+ male red- winged blackbirds + a song sparrow. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Apple-Mail-12--236866412 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>APRIL = 14, 2012</b> - On Pat's and my walk in our neighbourhood, the <b>garden = flowers were striking</b>, compared with previous days, especially = regarding the <b>crocuses</b>, which are now everywhere in good = numbers.
