Hello=2C
=20
While out collecting feeder reports this afternoon=2C I was astonished to f=
ind the same thing. First=2C along Victoria St. in Aylesford there were th=
ree Savannahs=2C apparently eating gravel exposed by the snowplows=2C along=
with a few Juncos. Later=2C I saw more (10+) along Brooklyn St=2C in east=
Kingston=2C flying up from the roadside like Horned Larks (which I did not=
find)=3B there were also quite a few Am. Tree Sparrows in the roadside shr=
ubbery. After discussion with Pat Giffin=2C he agreed that his possible Li=
ncoln's at Dodge Rd. were likely Savannahs as well=2C and mentioned that he=
thought that they were dark for that species. Unfortunately none of us go=
t them on the Kingston XBC=2C nor were there earlier reports here - Did the=
y all arrive overnight?

Hi=2C
I took a brief trip around the roads in Port Wlliams=2C then across the Wel=
lington Dyke Rd. to canning at lunchtime today. There were Savannah sparrow=

=2C outside my office in Port Williams. We also got 3 in one location yeste=
rday on the W.Hants CBC. Some still had quite yellow lores=2C but many seem=
ed overall darker than the usual ones we see in Summer. ? a more northerly =
race? George Forsythe mentioned a Ring-necked duck at the Port Williams sew=
age plant=2C which was present=2C but I couldn't find the Gadwall he had se=
