Someone should be here all day Tuesday though...you are welcome to come then. I'll let you know Tuesday a.m if they are still around. Frankly I'm amazed that they have stuck around here so long..... in the past when we have one it has been a very short stop over. These guys seem to be hanging around the feeder pretty much all day...and don't seem to be the least intimidated by any of the larger birds. ..... I have an even blurrier picture of two of the sitting right beside a pigeon!!! There are lots of bushes around that they quickly retreat to when anything spooks them. They especially like the two old Christmas trees that I have propped up near the feeder.</font></div><div><font color="#000000" size="2"></font> </div><div><font color="#000000" size="2">Cheers</font></div><div><font color="#000000" size="2"></font> </div><div><font color="#000000" size="2">Jon</font></div><div><font color="#000000" size="2">Oh, almost forgot the directions! If you come down route 1 from Bridgetown to Annapolis and take the turning out to the Habitation at Port Royal. We are right in the centre of Granville Ferry at # 5361. It almost directly across from the Granville Ferry Community Hall; the second house on the right past Lettney Lane .... there is a sharp turn and a 50Km/Hr sign at the bottom of our garden. House is set well back from the road....so you don't see it until you are level with it...white house with three gables.... and probably a lady (Millie) on her hands and knees in the flower beds!!!!</font></div><blockquote style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; margin-right: 0px; "><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; ">----- Original Message -----</div><div style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: rgb(228, 228, 228); font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; background-position: initial initial; "><b>From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a title="aadean@ns.sympatico.ca" href="mailto:aadean@ns.sympatico.ca">Andy Dean</a></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; "><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a title="naturens@chebucto.ns.ca" href="mailto:naturens@chebucto.ns.ca">naturens@chebucto.ns.ca</a></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; "><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Sunday, April 26, 2009 8:43 PM</div><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; "><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [NatureNS] Indigo buntings!</div><div><br></div><div><font color="#000000" size="2">What a great picture Jon !

This morning I finally managed to get a picture of all four in the same frame..... the male and female cardinal were an added bonus!!!! I have posted the picture at:</div><div><a href="http://www.bofep.org/photos.htm">http://www.bofep.org/photos.htm</a> . It's pretty blurry shot because it's taken hand held at high digital zoom, but at least the birds are distinguishable. It's been a real spring treat to have them around.</div><div> </div><div>Jon Percy</div><div>Granville Ferry</div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><hr><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><br>No virus found in this incoming message.<br>Checked by AVG - <a href="http://www.avg.com">www.avg.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.12.4/2081 - Release Date: 04/26/09 09:44:00<br></blockquote><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><hr><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><br>No virus found in this outgoing message.<br>Checked by AVG - <a href="http://www.avg.com">www.avg.com</a><br>Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.12.4/2081 - Release Date: 04/26/09 09:44:00<br></blockquote></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
