Yesterday, while birding the Carden Plane, I observed an interesting confrontation between a Canada Goose and a Blanding's Turtle. The goose was on her nest about 3 feet above the creek. The turtle, obviously interested in a meal of goose eggs, was creeping slowly up the bank towards the nest. The goose extended her neck along the ground and engaged in a staring match with the turtle. The turtle got to within 3 feet, and remained there for about 5 minutes. The turtle eventually gave up and returned to the creek.

A male Summer Tanager was at a feeder the morning of April 19 just west of Straffordville in east Elgin County. It was reported to me 2nd hand today. I'm in the process of finding out if it is still present and will post directions if it is. Dave Martin Harrietsville, ON [EMAIL PROTECTED]
