--Apple-Mail-24--6940033 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed OCT. 6, 2012 - Wolfville Harbour two hours before high tide -- almost no mud still exposed -- 10 yellowlegs (gtr.?), 3 semipalmated plovers, 1 semipalmated sandpiper. OCT. 8, 2012 - At my feeders, there were two fully fledged and independent juvenile female cardinals (beaks whitish, not pink yet) -- I had seen one previously, in addition to an adult female and adult male, all seen individually. OCT. 9, 2012 - In early afternoon on a mudflat along the Cornwallis River mouth across from the Wolfville sewage ponds, there were 15 bald eagles, 10 of them in a tight group "perched" on the mud surface, actively interacting by displacing one another just like they do in trees when at Sheffield Mills in winter. The 15 eagles included 3 adults and 12 immatures. At the sewage ponds were 2 ring- billed gulls, but a better time to look for gulls there would be during the high-tide period. On my drive back to Wolfville, there was another flying immature bald eagle. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Apple-Mail-24--6940033 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"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial"><b>OCT. 6, 2012 - = Wolfville Harbour</b></font><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" = color=3D"#0a28ce" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial; color: #0a28ce"> two = hours before high tide -- almost no mud still exposed -- 10</font><font = face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial"><b> = yellowlegs</b></font><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" color=3D"#0a28ce" = style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial; color: #0a28ce"> (gtr.?), 3 </font><font = face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial"><b>semipalmated = plovers</b></font><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" color=3D"#0a28ce" = style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial; color: #0a28ce">, 1 </font><font = face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial"><b>semipalmated = sandpiper</b></font><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" color=3D"#0a28ce" = style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial; color: #0a28ce">.</font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Arial; color: = rgb(10, 40, 206); min-height: 15px; "><br></div><div style=3D"margin-top: = 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial"><b>OCT. 8, = 2012</b></font><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" color=3D"#0a28ce" = style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial; color: #0a28ce"> - At my feeders, there = were</font><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: 13.0px = Arial"><b> two fully fledged and independent juvenile female cardinals = </b>(beaks whitish, not pink yet)</font><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" = color=3D"#0a28ce" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial; color: #0a28ce"> -- I had = seen one previously, in addition to an adult female and adult male, all = seen individually.</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal = normal normal 13px/normal Arial; color: rgb(10, 40, 206); min-height: = 15px; "><br></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; = margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" = style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial"><b>OCT. 9, 2012 </b>- In early afternoon on = a mudflat along the Cornwallis River mouth across from the Wolfville = sewage ponds, there were <b>15 bald eagles</b>, 10 of them in a tight = group "perched" on the mud surface, actively interacting by displacing = one another just like they do in trees when at Sheffield Mills in = winter.
