Dave,

=20

The red balloons are public hotspots where anyone can check-in =
observations in and the blue ones are personal hotspots. The pointers =
are just indicative of where that eBird hotspot is but they are for a =
variable amount of area so they do not have pinpoint accuracy.

Hi Keith,

    I have not seen one of these plots before; very impressive. What is =
the difference between a blue balloon and a red one ? Assuming the =
pointed end is the location marker, nearly all are near salt water or in =
the warmer end of the Annapolis Valley (when viewed at large scale); =
suggests aversion to cold.

Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

Northern Flickers are in range for overwintering in the western half of =
the Nova Scotia mainland.=20

ok - its just a play on words.....

We've been hosting a Northern Flicker at our feeders this winter.

Yesterday my wife Heather heard a noise in the back yard and looked out =
to see TWO Northern Flickers battling for a spot on our suet feeder.=20

It seems odd to me that Flickers are now overwintering in the Maritimes.

Maybe it is a new climate change trend or perhaps they have always been =
capable of withstanding our  cold temps but never had such an abundant =
winter food source like they do now, given all the feeding stations =
around.
