Had an invasion yesterday, most of them chasing each other through the trees at high speed. Peter Stow In a message dated 13/10/2011 2:51:52 P.M. Atlantic Daylight Time, jimwolford@eastlink.ca writes: OCT. 11, 2011 - Yesterday I heard a singing white-throated sparrow in our Wolfville yard (but none have appeared recently at our feeders, just 4+ song sparrows), and I also heard a robin there yesterday. Then this morning Pat saw a robin in our yard, but so far we have only seen/heard a single robin. OCT. 12, 2011 - The first dark-eyed junco of the Autumn showed up at our feeders. I checked on Wolfville Harbour 2 hours after high tide in mid-afternoon: 2 unidentified yellowlegs (and possibly 2 more?), and 2 smaller unidentified shorebirds. OCT. 13, 2011 - Today I saw 4 juvenile n. cardinals at once, perhaps a single brood, at our feeders, without seeing any adults: there were 2 juvenile males, both quite reddish-orange, and 2 juvenile females, all fully fledged and foraging on the ground on their own. Also there was a single white-throated sparrow (see Oct. 11 above). Other birds at the feeders included 3 mourning doves, a downy woodpecker, 4+ blue jays, strangely no chickadees at all, 1 starling, several song sparrows, a goldfinch, and (overnight) at least one raccoon. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. = --part1_50b8.102c67e9.3bc898f8_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3DUS-ASCII" http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.7600.16891"></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" id=3Dro= le_body=20 bottomMargin=3D7 leftMargin=3D7 rightMargin=3D7 topMargin=3D7><FONT id=3Dro= le_document=20 color=3D#000000 size=3D2 face=3DArial> <DIV>I think all the robins are here in Hubbards.
