This is a multipart message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0025_01D2FAFD.701F3910 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Veerys (-ies?) were a regular summer resident on Wyman Road, south of Yarmouth, until a couple or three years ago. Not sure what happened. Other news, at a get-together up in Lake Annis (near the Digby County line) on Sunday, a grackle pursued a largish accipiter across our clearing about a hundred feet from us. Dark top, rufous breast, size difference . I conclude it was a Cooper's. The same day, one of the folks noticed a small snake heading towards a crevice in the cottage foundation. I delayed its disappearance in time to identify it as a ring-necked snake. Back in the '60's, I was an avid pursuer of snakes, and ringnecks were extremely unusual. I pursue a lot less now, and see ringnecks about as frequently. Makes me suspect they are becoming more abundant. ------=_NextPart_000_0025_01D2FAFD.701F3910 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" = xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><meta = http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"><meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word 14 = (filtered medium)"><style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:windowtext;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} @page WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=3DEN-CA link=3Dblue = vlink=3Dpurple><div class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal>Veerys = (-ies?) were a regular summer resident on Wyman Road, south of Yarmouth, = until a couple or three years ago.
