SEPT. 23, 2011 - At our Wolfville feeders I saw a bird that would  
have been a difficult identification if it had not been accompanied  
and fed by a male n. cardinal.  This made the ident. much easier, but  
this bird did not look like a typical newly-fledged cardinal.  The  
size was right, ground colour OK, and had reddish hints in the brown  
tail, but there was no crest, the beak was not blackish but more of a  
gray and whitish colour, and the "shoulder" area showed a whitish or  
light tan mark.  Anyway, this was clearly a fledged cardinal that was  
being attended and fed by the adult male.

All of this fits in nicely with other people's observations of very  
late nesting activities of a variety of birds throughout the province.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
