Hi all:
=20
I noticed after dark last night at the Lunenburg Folk Harbour festival that=
there were lots of bird calls showing that migrants were on the move overh=
ead. This evening I saw my first flock of about 40 common grackles travell=
ing with a huge flock of European starlings. A number of other large group=
s of starlings also passed by. =20
=20
Before I mention the next thing I'll need to supply a little bit of history=
. For those of you who are Folk music oriented=2C you might not have heard=
that Ron Hynes has throat cancer and has had to cancel performances. He w=
as part of the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival line-up this year=2C but due=
to the new development he was not able to come. Tonight a lot of the othe=
r performers put on a tribute for Ron. It was really great=2C but everytim=
e someone would sing one of Ron's songs somewhere throughout the song a mal=
e northern cardinal would call a number of times. Now there is always the =
possibility that someone hasd an ipod with a bird ap on it and was playing =
a joke on me=2C but at this point I believe that it was a real cardinal cal=
ling. I thought that this was really neat and likely co-incidental. Altho=
ugh maybe some pitch in the instruments might have set the cardinal off to =
calling.
