**John Inman shares a photo of two mourning doves side-by-side to show the plumage colour variation in this species.

John also noticed a small group of Canada geese fly over, which is very possibly an advance guard of migrants.

 

**Fred and Lynn Dube took a drive over Caledonia Mountain on Sunday. There was very little to observe. They saw two black- capped chickadees, a pileated woodpecker, and a ruffed grouse. They noticed some clear-cutting and wondered if maybe that is having an impact on the birds in the area, as usually you would get a nice variety there.

Evening grosbeaks have been observed in their yard recently, and a photo has been included.
