** Elaine Gallant spotted a BROWN
CREEPER [Grimpereau brun] on Sunday working a large tree on the trail
that leads through the area to be replaced by a large campground development in
the Pointe-du-Chene area.
** The COMMON
REDPOLLS [Sizerin flammé] and PINE
SISKINS [Tarin des pins] are really moving into feeder yards at full
speed. Rosaire Richard comments his Finch invasion of 80+ Redpolls and a large
number of Pine Siskins as well arrived to his Cocagne feeder yard over the
weekend.
** Dale Gaskin is yet another to report a sudden arrival of
high numbers of COMMON REDPOLLS [Sizerin
flammé] to his Dawson Settlement Rd feeder yard commenting they seem to
have no fear acting like flies around his feet, and 2 even landed on him while
refuelling feeders!!! Dale comments he has gone through more niger seed in the
past 3 days than he did all last winter. He’s also hosting 12 to 14 EVENING
GROSBEAKS [Gros-bec errant] that have been very regular the past 3
days.
** A very well dressed RING-NECKED
PHEASANT [Faisan de Colchide] dropped by Brian Stone’s yard on Monday for
a portrait sitting.
