There was no sign of any vertical bar but a nice horizontal bar = along the side of the bird. The face pattern was outlined with strong = pale lines. I did not get a great look at the remaining teal as they = took off when I surprised them as I rounded a corner. The E. teal and a = fem with it stayed in the stream a few min. for closer observation so it = is possible there might be more of the Eurasian subspecies in the group. = Also in Truro Heights I took a distant photograph of an adult or near = adult Coopers Hawk. It had hackles raised at times while perched = presenting a squarish to hammer-head. I watched the bird fly off with = strong flight strokes.=20 cheers Ken ------=_NextPart_000_003F_01CF0555.A4714740 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.23543"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton = NS<BR>B0K=20 1S0<BR>902 752-7644<BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Briefly a few observations of somewhat = uncommon=20 birds from recent CBC's. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>On Dec. 28, on the Antigonish = CBC, I=20 photographed a <STRONG>Varied Thrush</STRONG> below a feeder just = at dusk=20 on the Cove Rd. near the Southside Harbour end of the road. = </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Also earlier in the day I photographed = a 1st winter=20 male <STRONG>Eurasian Wigeon</STRONG> in a bit of open water along = the=20 access road to Pomquet PP. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>On Dec. 29 I saw a male = <STRONG>(Eurasian) Green=20 -winged Teal</STRONG> in a group of a dozen or more teal along a = small bit=20 of open water on the Truro golf course.
