OCT. 17, 2012 - VERY HIGH HIGH TIDE in Wolfville Harbour at 2:45 p.m.  
-- today I counted 14 greater yellowlegs, 1 spotted sandpiper, but no  
godwit and no small sandpipers or plovers.

Wanda ____ of THE PITA HOUSE on Wolfville's Main St. said she had  
another disturbance from her regular blue jays in the tall trees in  
the alley behind her store; so she wonders if the presumed immature  
y.-cr. night heron? is still showing up there in the daytime.   
Wanda's feeders are hard to see just behind her store, but the tall  
trees are above them and across the alley.

I told Wanda that a disturbance among blue jays might mean any one of  
lots of possibilities that might upset the jays, e.g. an owl, a cat,  
a weasel, etc. etc., but she is pretty sure that the heron is "back"  
there in the tall trees somewhere.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
