** John Inman has caught some nice photos of activity around his 225
Mary's Point Road home. I’m adding several from recent days that include a
NORTHERN GOSHAWK [Autour des palombes] on RING-NECKED PHEASANT [Faisan de
Colchide] prey, 3 shots of perched Goshawks, NORTHERN PINTAILS [Canard pilet], a
WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH [Sittelle à poitrine blanche] taking refuge in a nest
box and an amusing incident of a COMMON RAVEN [Grand Corbeau] pulling the tail
of a MUSKRAT [Rat musqué].
** John Massey has a nice selection coming to his Dieppe feeder yard that
includes EVENING GROSBEAKS [Gros-bec errant], RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES [Sittelle
à poitrine rousse], his three pet COMMON RAVENS [Grand Corbeau], 3 WHITE-TAILED
DEER [Cerf de Virginie], one RED FOX [Renard roux], and NORTHERN FLYING
SQUIRRELS [Grand Polatouche]. He got a photo of a sharp PILEATED WOODPECKER
[Grand pic] around his yard and a GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET [Roitelet à couronne
dorée] at Slack’s Cove recently. John has a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers that
have a territory around his home and are very comfortable with him near
them.
** Brian Stone again got a photo of COMET LOVEJOY [comète Lovejoy] on
Saturday night. He also got a shot of JUPITER [] showing three of it moons.
Beside his photo, Brian super-imposed a photo of Jupiter from the Stellarium
program, naming the three moons.
He has also photographed the planets VENUS [Vénus] and MERCURY [Mercure]
that are still appearing in close proximity as they rise just after dusk. In
reality, they are a great distance apart in space.
