Joe Koene is having a fairly successful syrup run out in the bush. I asked my friend Phillip DuBoulay for some information on birds that can be seen this time of year. He sent me the following — "You never know what is going to turn up; which is one of the pleasures of bird watching. We had a very nice Christmas present in the form of an immature White-throated Sparrow, which came to our. feeding tray on Christmas morning and has been with us every day since, "The week gone by has been most productive in the number of species; we counted 25, and of these, 14 have been at our feeders. Meadowlarks are back, as well as Horned Larks, Robins, Mourning Doves, Song Sparrows and Killdeer. Incidentally it is quite possible that the Horned Larks are already nesting. "Two other interesting birds put in an appearance, the Towhee and the Tufted Titmouse. So far as we know this is the first appearance of the Towhee this year, but the Tufted Titmouse has been seen off and on since the third week of February at Marie Watson's and Dr. Morgan Smith's feeding trays; and in the same week Common Redpolls were seen at Elva Metcalf's on Louisa St. "So far there has not been too much new to hear in the bird world. We are all familiar with the Blue Jay's call and the Cardinal's whistle and chatter; some sounds we naturally associate with Spring such as the Crow's `caw caw', and the wild cry of the Killdeer, but when you hear the Song Sparrow, as we did this morning, then you know that Spring is not too far.
