First off I should explain the red-bellied woodpecker. There has been one =
in the same location now for three years running at Branch LaHave. A male,=
but never a sign of a female. The male successfully overwintered and Doro=
thy Poole and I made a run to see it on March 25. It did not show, but was=
at the feeder the day after we were there. This is the same bird I receiv=
ed photos of by another person through the winter and we were shown photos =
of the bird by the person who has it when we were there. The gentleman in =
Branch LaHave has had the bird coming to his feeder all winter, but it is n=
ow visiting less frequently. There is a good possibility I think of a pair=
of these birds breeding in that area, as on one of my point counts for the=
breeding bird atlas last summer I had a female fly in and land on a teleph=
one pole not far as the bird flies from the location in Branch Lahave where=
the male had been all last summer. I will try to watch that area more clo=
sely this summer.

At one roadside stop in Branch LaHave on the same day I had 21 black-capped=
chickadees, perched all on the one tree. I suspect returning migrants mov=
ing through that area due to the number.

Today at my feeder in Dublin Shore the first common grackle for the year ma=
de an appearance. A newly returned spring migrant.
