The blowing snows brought few birders down Hall's Rd. in the morning of Mar.26. They missed out on seeing a raccoon attack! In early afternoon I went back down and found the GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE with Canadas in the field opposite the north pathway entry. Below the swinging feeder was a FOX SP. Now, back to the morn--male & female Purple Finch, 50 House Finch, only 1 C.Redpoll, 2 Rusty Blackbirds, our on-the-hour female White-winged Crossbill and several other songbirds kept a pestering Raccoon away from the feeder. At the platform were 3 Swamp Sp., 7 Song Sp., 1 White-throated Sp. and many Am. Tree Sp.. On the frozen-over marsh the snows made it difficult to ascertain the duck species--there were Pintails. The 7 Trumpeter Swans, incl. Crystal & Zack (neck-collared visitors from Chesapeake Bay) sat waiting out the storm. Doug Lockrey, Whitby, ON "Doug Lockrey" <lockrey33@rogers.com>
