Yeah, I thought it was quite odd to have a female this early. I haven't seen
them since, but I guess according to Jan, they've been doing some feeder
hopping!

We had a pair of Red-Winged Blackbirds about two hours before Lucas
posted his..Lucas is just 3 kilometres east of me so possibly the same
pair..also a feisty Sharp-Shinned hawk and new Red breasted Nuthatch and Fox
sparrow. On Friday 42 Canada Geese flew into the ENE overhead..yesteday 26
more.

Subject: [NatureNS] re pair of red-winged blackbirds -- was fox sparrow
song? in Wolfville, gray squirrel at Greenwich again
It's much too early for migrant female red-winged blackbirds, but of course
the one Lucas saw might well have overwintered. Normally migrant females
are a couple of weeks or more later than the early males, so that by the
time of the annual pond-hopping King's County field trip, females will be
just starting to arrive, I'll guess. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

There are at least three fox sparrows here and I hear them singing all the
time. They have really beautiful songs.
I had a pheasant at my feeders for the first time, actually I have never
seen a pheasant anywhere near where I live. I wonder if it's been released
recently. I also had a pair (male and female) of red-winged blackbirds for a
few seconds, my first for the year. The loons are also back, since the
harbour is finally thawed out.

Subject: [NatureNS] fox sparrow song? in Wolfville, gray squirrel at
Greenwich again
MAR. 31, 2009 - In late afternoon at home I heard a loud, melodic,
unfamiliar SONG twice, and I'll bet it was the FOX SPARROW that, as of
yesterday, has been hanging around my yard and feeders for a week or more?
When I played the fox sparrow song on the set of Stokes CDs, it had quite a
bit of likeness of what I had heard. Hopefully I will hear it some more
before it migrates north!? Then at 7:15 p.m. I saw the FOX SPARROW again at
the feeders -- just a coincidence?
And Pat Dix at Greenwich , across the highway from Harold Forsyth's house,
saw a GRAY SQUIRREL again.
