June 30 2015

** Georges Brun got a distant photo of an adult  PEREGRINE FALCON [Faucon pèlerin]  perched outside the nest box on the summit of Assumption Place on Tuesday morning.
 
** We’ve had lots of damp weather recently; I came across several large HORSE MUSHROOMS on Monday on a grassed area just off Vaughan Harvey Blvd in Moncton.  There were large and obviously fresh from the night before as no insect infestation.  They will be heading to the griddle today !  Horse Mushrooms are far more prevalent in the fall, but wet conditions can bring them to life anytime in the spring and summer period.
 
** There have been several reports this year of  BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO [Coulicou à bec noir].  I very distinctly heard the call of one from Mount Royal Blvd in Moncton’s West End at 7 am Tuesday.  I followed the call hoping for an observation for a half hour, but it would not produce a visual observation.
