Index of Subjects Good evening, After nearly 20 years in the same location, getting a new bird in the yard is quite exciting! Unfortunately, it's not a rare one either! Yesterday morning a female Ring-necked Pheasant spent about 20 minutes under the sunflower seed feeders pecking away quite contentedly. This was a species I had some difficulty finding in my square, let alone getting breeding evidence for. It returned this morning and fed on the mix seed I put out last evening. I'm hoping that it will become a regular! Other unusual birds, for here, were a N Flicker and a WB Nuthatch. Regular species include BC Chickadees, RB Nuthatch (pair), lots of A Goldfinch, DE Juncos, M Dove (4 sit up on the bird bath in the evening), Song Sparrow and Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers. R Pigeons and A Crows are never far away. Our latest C Grackle left last week. We haven't seen Purple Finches for a month or so. Can't wait for the redpolls to show up. They are a real treat during an invasion winter! Cheers, Bob McDonald Halifax
