**The first nestlings of migrant bird species are starting.
John Oldham got a photo of a COMMON GRACKLE [Quiscale bronzé] nestling in his
Moncton yard on Friday, May 29th.
**The NORTHERN PARULA WARBLER [Paruline à collier] is known to use OLD-MAN’S BEARD LICHEN, a.k.a. Usnea [Usnée barbe du vieillard] as nesting sites. Aldo Dorio got some nice photos of that well in progress at Hay Island Nature Park on Friday.
**Anne Marsch reports the GREAT EGRET [Grande Aigrette] was still enjoying the Cormierville Marsh as of Friday.
**Jean-Paul LeBlanc continues to have BOBOLINKS [Goglu des prés] in their Bouctouche yard on a regular basis, however, Friday had the first female arrive. They also had a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD [Moqueur polyglotte] on Friday to their yard.
**Carol Christopher had a SPRING PEEPER [Rainette crucifère] attach to a window pane of her Miramichi home on Thursday night. A photo shows the underside, to especially note the sucker foot pads that enable this species to attach to upright objects as they do.
