Hi all
I have not been getting multiple posts from Eric if that is any help in solv=
ing the problem. I am on Eastlink and wonder if it might be provider related=
.=20

On a more Nature-related note, I photographed a Painted Lady on Coltsfoot at=
 the West end beach at Big I, Pict  about noon. I was rather surprised to se=
e a butterfly as the air temperature was only 3C and the wind out of the NE w=
as bracing. No doubt there was a warmer micro environment in this protected w=
est end.=20

Some spring migrants were present in Big I area incl. Greater Yellowlegs (2)=
 and American Kestrel (3) but so were winter birds such as Long-tailed Duck (=
2), Snow Bunting (5), and single Glaucous and Iceland Gulls. There were abou=
t 250 Scoters in the Strait off the Big I Causeway about 30 Blacks and 220 S=
urfs. The gulls were feasting on a seal carcass on the beach about mid Cause=
way which was also there last day I was down. =20

I still have 6 American Tree Sparrows coming to my Plymouth feeder- they oft=
en stay into the first week of May.=20

Cheers
Ken=20
