Index of Subjects Song sparrows started singing about a week ago and Mr. Cardinal a couple of days ago, down here in God's country! -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of NancyDowd Sent: March 8, 2018 4:26 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [NatureNS] Purple Finch and RT Hawk Yesterday many Purple Finch in nearby mixed woods were in full cheery song. Very nice to hear their bubbly tunes. There was a Starling like down slur at the end of many songs which I had not heard PF do before. It can be seen in the following spectrogram as a downward slanting line in the spectrogram below. eBird list with song https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S43462330 or MacCauley (the one at top left) https://search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?mediaType=a&q=purple%20finch Also along the way we heard the Red-tailed Hawk scream ahead of us on the road. It then flew criss-crossing overhead a few times before circling into the distant trees. To me this suggested it might have a nest nearby (too early?) and perceived us as a possible threat. The scream gets heard a lot but this time it seemed to have a meaning. Nancy E Dalhousie, Kings Co
