OCT. 27, 2012 - RATS!  A big Norway rat has appeared in the burrow  
system below my feeders in our back yard (shared with the chipmunk,  
who might now be hibernating?).

OCT. 29, 2012 - At my feeders, the eastern chipmunk is still active,  
and, happily, I have not seen the Norway rat since that first  
sighting.  And robins still present in our yard.

OCT. 29, 2012 -  At suppertime in east Wolfville, Bob Thexton showed  
me a cock pheasant that was roosting (presumably for the night) about  
halfway up in a large black walnut tree on a now-bare branch well out  
from the trunk, in a residential back yard.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
