And perhaps all do not hatch at once. You can be sure the newly hatched turtles will make a quick getaway or they will be raccoon treats. Is Vogel back yet? Enjoy the fall Paul ________________________________ From: "duartess@ns.sympatico.ca" <duartess@ns.sympatico.ca> To: Naturelist <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Thursday, October 4, 2012 4:18:54 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Robins, Cardinals, Etc Quite a flock of Robins have descended in the dogwood trees in my yard, today, gobbling up lots of the berries. These Robins are very pale in colour, compared to what I usually see here during the summer. As well, the adult male Northern Cardinal along with a fledgling that has been appearing sporadically at my feeders recently, were very active and visible today. My new globe shaped sunflower seed feeder surrounded with a wrought iron mesh just big enough for the little birds, has been very popular with the Am Goldfinches, Purple Finches, Chickadees, & Song Sparrows that feel very comfortable visiting. And no Pigeons or Starlings! Mind you I did put a regular feeder in a tree way down back right beside the brook for the Jays, & Cardinals. I'm having to take in all the feeders at dusk though, due to marauding Raccoons which have already damages a couple of them this week. The Snapping Turtle nest at Red Bridge Pond appears to be undisturbed. Truly, I would think that the eggs have probably hatched by now but I haven't seen any evidence, like a shell.
