Index of Subjects Glad to hear you finally got to see the Sapsucker. I have been away since Friday morning - got storm-stayed in Parrsboro and just got home this afternoon. I have seen the Sapsucker, a Downy and a Hairy since I got home a couple of hours ago.

We stopped in Hantsport and finally got to see the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. In Grand Pre we were joined by Judy O'Brien and Giselle d'Entremont and saw the same Peregrine Falcon Judy Tufts saw on the top of a telephone pole, pulling a bird apart. Jim Wolford's Baltimore Oriole was sitting in all of its glory in a bush at the side of his yard. On Ridge Road we had great, closehand looks at a Pileated Woodpecker. We also saw the large flock of siskins, redpolls and goldfinches reported by Richard. Margaretsville had 51 Snow Buntings sitting on a telephone wire. Along the shore were 7 Harlequin Ducks and 30 Purple Sandpipers. We returned to Wolfville and checked in to the Tattingstone for the night where Alan and Mary-Jane Covert were waiting for us. After a delicious supper at Acton's we all headed over to Kentville to watch Liz Stern in a very funny play. We returned to our rooms for wine and cheese and conversation. All in all, a very civilized and satisfying day. Don Don MacNeill donmacneill@eastlink.ca
