Autumn birds and town tales on Bluebird trail
Notes from a Manitoba column describe autumn color blending and bluebirds seen by Mrs. Ken Munro, Ross Kieper, and Mrs. Paul Eliasson in mid to late September. A lively feeder scene at the Yankoski home features five birds and a single-leg sparrow, while a resident squirrel creates a winter nuisance. The piece recalls a distant forecaster and ends with light anecdotes from local hospitality and a St. Regis Hotel lobby joke about consensual club rules and Winnipeg beer skits.
