> FEB. 13, 2016 - Pat & I enjoyed the sight of 25+ Am. robins plus a =
single male n. cardinal along the street close to our apartment in =
east-end Wolfville (Woodman Road area).  Also seen nearby were bald =
eagles, ravens, crows, starlings, goldfinches, song sparrow, mourning =
doves, rock pigeons, herring gulls, great black-backed gulls.

> FEB. 15, 2016 - At 3 p.m. at the Acadia Arena parking lot, I had a =
brief but good look at a very large flying bird of prey passing by from =
east to west =97 it had very long and pointed wings and flew like a very =
large peregrine falcon, but was the size of a large red-tailed hawk.  I =
was too late with my binoculars, but it was a very big falcon, probably =
a peregrine but maybe a gyrfalcon??  =46rom what others have said in the =
past, a good place to look for it in future would be near Noggins Farm =
Market, which always attracts numbers of starlings etc.
