Hi Elke! getting lots of snow down east? How did you weather the hurricane season this past fall.?

Hi Lori! Take a look at my blogs about the hurricane - we survived - again! Our son in Windsor, ON is complaining about the warm temperatures you're getting - he was about to band some snow buntings he had attracted on the shores of Lake St. Clair, and they all went north again when the weather warmed up before he could do it. But perhaps you're not as far south as he is!

No, Elke, your son is in the Canadian Banana Belt...I'm at 45 degrees north latitude...south of Ottawa by about 90 kms. east of Windsor by about 1200 kms...(that's a guess) Sorry to hear about the bird remigration...he is just west of the major migratory routes through Pointe Pelee... I've only seen a couple of buntings this year so far...and it's been good and cold, I think their numbers are decreasing...sad to say. thanks for the pointer to your blog..will take a look.

I'm more familiar with Ottawa than Windsor (just had a first quick visit to W this Xmas), as we lived in Montreal for 35 years. Our son bands buntings in the Arctic and near Hamilton for his research, and was thrilled to attract them in Windsor. Ah well, they know best!

Yes it is, Deida51. I was born there, but grew up in the UK. I'm a Canadian now, been here almost 40 years.

I was born in Göttingen (Niedersachsen). Moved to the UK (Cornwall) when I was 4. My mother still lives there - check out my Cornish Garden blog from last year.
