> JUNE 12, 2013 - Jake MacDonald of east Wolfville called to report a  
> most interesting and spectacular confrontation involving cardinals  
> in his yard near his feeders.  Lately Jake has been observing an  
> adult male and adult female coming and going at his feeders very  
> regularly, and he guesses that pair is feeding nestlings somewhere  
> nearby.  But today in late afternoon a second adult female showed  
> up, and she and the other adult female spent the next approximately  
> two minutes in a real fight involving lots of flapping and pecking  
> etc.  Eventually they both flew off, one chasing the other, and  
> only one returned (winner?).  Jake said it was the most exciting  
> wildlife sighting he had ever witnessed.

> Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
