--Boundary_(ID_VUEbX9i/F8nS0+dVHu03kQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Jan. 30, 2011 (Eagle Watch, cont.) - Another highlight of sorts was reported twice to me in the hall: apparently at least 3 would-be photographers at the feeding site west of the hall had folding chairs for their comfort in waiting long periods for some eagle activity -- weather was perfect for spending lots of time outdoors. Also I heard from friends that at least six cars at the feeding/viewing site had Quebec license plates, and I talked with a few Quebecois in the community hall. ------------------------ At home we got a call from south Kentville about a large bird that was found dead, presumably window-killed, this morning -- the finders identified it as an immature red-tailed hawk?, BUT NO, when I picked it up today from them, it was a ruffed grouse! It has now been deposited in a freezer of Acadia Univ. Biology, along with a presumed road-kill barred owl found dead in Kentville by Bob Cote on Jan. 28. Also Sherman Bleakney returned to Wolfville on Jan. 27th after a month in Toronto, and all of his feeder-birds from mid-December were still present, including his bright pine warbler. Sherman's house is at the top of Kent Ave., #84, and the feeders are all in his back yard close to the house and his desk window -- his phone number is 542-3604. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_VUEbX9i/F8nS0+dVHu03kQ) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica">Jan. 30, = 2011 (Eagle Watch, cont.) - <b>Another highlight of sorts</b> was = reported twice to me in the hall: apparently at least 3 would-be = <b>photographers</b> at the feeding site west of the hall had <b>folding = chairs</b> for their comfort in waiting long periods for some eagle = activity -- weather was perfect for spending lots of time outdoors. = Also I heard from friends that at least six cars at the = feeding/viewing site had <b>Quebec license plates</b>, and I talked with = a few Quebecois in the community hall.</font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: = 12.0px Helvetica">------------------------</font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: = 12.0px Helvetica">At home we got a call from <b>south Kentville</b> = about a large bird that was found dead, <b>presumably window-killed</b>, = this morning -- the finders identified it as an immature <b>red-tailed = hawk?,</b> BUT NO, when I picked it up today from them, it was a = <b>ruffed grouse! </b>It has now been deposited in a freezer of = Acadia Univ.
