Derek, aren=E2=80=99t you seeing the redpolls?  Here at our feeders on =
Tulip street, there has been a large flock for quite a while already.  =
We=E2=80=99ve been filling the niger feeder every day; but now =
we=E2=80=99ve run out of niger seed.  We do have other mixed seed and =
millet in the other feeder.  I hope they can nourish themselves on that.

  MARCH 18, 2015 - Ho, hum, another storm/blizzard/wind day (how many =
now this year??).  Our very reliable neighbour Sylvia Holmes again has =
braved the elements to put out goodies for the birdies on the ground in =
several spots.  We have 60+ snow buntings there plus a mixed flock of =
100 or so goldfinches and common redpolls.  And we even had 5 horned =
larks that were attracted to some cracked corn.  Other recent customers =
among the ground-feeders have included mourning doves, blue jays, crows, =
cardinals, song sparrows, white-throated sparrows, Am. tree sparrows, =
juncos, downy woodpecker, and flickers.

  Cheers from shut-in Jim in Wolfville.
