A short list of birds at our feeders today: 30+ Am. Goldfinches 20+ Pine Siskin's =20 6 pheasants (3 male, 3 female) 20+ Chickadees Downey Woodpeckers Hairy Woodpeckers 8-10 Juncos 20+ Mourning Doves Also our usual variety of Ravens and Crows looking for whatever is = available. Also had one very unusual visitor feeding with the doves today on = cracked corn. The closest description and photo I could find in Sibley's would be a = Townsend's Solitaire. Only saw it this AM and was totally gray with a shorter beak. = Smaller than the doves , but seemed about Robin size. Did not see any buff color = on it, but also did not see it flying in a direction to see the under wings. I = presume this would be a rare sighting here and am open to suggestions as to what else = it might have been. Have ruled out catbirds and cowbirds as I have seen many over = the years. As an added note my wife and I saw an otter near Georgefield, Hants Co. = this afternoon running along one of the brooks in the area. Always a pleasure to see. Have a great day; Bob Haimes ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01CCF4B0.40307240 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 9.00.8112.16441"></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-TOP: = 15px"=20 id=3DMailContainerBody leftMargin=3D0 topMargin=3D0 = CanvasTabStop=3D"true"=20 name=3D"Compose message area"> <DIV><FONT face=3DCalibri>I don't come on here often, but I enjoy = hearing about=20 all the adventures and sightings</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DCalibri>around the province.
