I have not seen any unusual birds here in Port Hawkesbury this winter 
but have now accumulated a number of interesting species:
The Mockingbird that arrived on January 19 visits our back yard daily to 
take water from the heated birdbath. It is not interested in the berries 
and grape jelly that I offer and is obviously feeding somewhere nearby.
A Dickcissel showed up today (February 2) with the forty House Sparrows 
that are always here. First Dickcissel I have seen in two years.
Also here on a somewhat regular basis: Downy Woodpecker, Red-breasted 
Nuthatch, two Song Sparrows, seven or eight American Tree Sparrows, 
fifteen Redpolls and one American Robin. A sharp-shinned Hawk also 
visits on occasion. Several White-throated Sparrows observed in January 
seem to have moved somewhere else. DWJ.
