 The Mew Gull was seen at Sullivans Pond both at around 11:00 a.m. and around 4:00 p.m. 
I finally was able to view and photograph the unusual Chickadee with a mostly white head at Shubie Park Dartmouth on the third visit (today) this week.
I had Redpolls visiting yesterday and today for the first time at my feeder, travelling with goldfinch.
Also, I don't know if others noticed elsewhere, but here in Dartmouth at least, it seemed to be ideal conditions briefly this morning for snowflakes that had that perfect six sided look that is occasionaly captured in photographs. I took some on the window of my car...perhaps a good time for me to pick up a macro lens for my camera...
Here are a few photos for some of the things mentioned:
