MARCH 31/21 - I have a few springtime phenomena to report: a bit of searching finally turned up about 5 flowering heads of coltsfoot along Wolfville’s Oak Avenue; and just north of the Acadia Arena the usual raven nest is occupied again; also today our east-end Wolfville neighborhood is suddenly full of singing song sparrows. Two days ago we had a very vocal male northern flicker. Then yesterday we had an obviously just-arrived bunch of 6+ red-winged blackbirds doing a “group gronk” of constant singing together. Now the migrant American robins are overdue here.
