Good morning, all,
Speaking of redpolls, their fairly large numbers in many areas of the province, etc, I have noticed that today, my feeders are completely absent of any birds and I have just seen the reason why. I have not one but 2 Sharp-shinned hawks sitting up in the tall branches of the trees that are part of the green-belt that separates the backyards of Glenwood & Celtic here in Dartmouth. I have, over the past couple of days seen one Sharpie swooping around. Have only seen it once with a captured bird, and that was a couple of weeks ago. Should be interesting if I will continue to see the large numbers of redpolls and other feeder birds with the Sharpie's around. But they have to eat too. I think they are beautiful, majestic birds though!

haven't heard anyone in Dartmouth reporting a sudden increase in their
flock. I'd figured that the Celtic ave. flock must be the same birds that we
were getting here on Tulip street, maybe a kilometer from Celtic; but a
serious birder told me that was likely a different flock!?? Anyone have the
time to chime in on this?
Thanks.

I and my neighbours here in Seabright, St Margarets Bay are also now
inundated by some 50+++ redpolls (VERY hard to count accurately)!
