[ValleyNature] Bohemian & cedar waxwings, barred owls, purple finch, Wolfville

[James W. Wolford]

Jan. 25, 2010 (Monday) - Bernard Forsythe reports from his latest  
winter list walk (today) that Sheila McCurdy has a male purple finch  
in her Wolfville yard (off lower Sherwood Ave. on Dale St.)(Bernard  
heard it but didn't see it), and, on his way there, he saw 150  
Bohemian waxwings with about 20 cedar waxwings, also in Wolfville  
(Pleasant St.?).

Also Jake MacDonald of lower Maple Ave. in Wolfville called on Sat.,  
Jan. 23, to report hooting barred owls for the past several days, and  
he thinks there are perhaps 3-4 of them nearby -- I wonder if hooting  
barred owls are like coyotes in that their howling often sounds like  
more individuals than there really are?  Or maybe Jake lives where  
two territorial pairs' boundaries are??

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
