** Aldo Dorio got a few challenging fall warbler photos to peruse on. The
RED-EYED VIREO [Viréo aux yeux rouges] contented with its prize prey may be an
easy one. However, the YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER [Paruline à croupion jaune] is not
so easy. Two COMMON YELLOWTHROATS [Paruline masquée], one that appears to being
fed, as from a late nesting, could be left up to the jury. Another left to the
jury is the one labelled “warbler”. Could this be a fall BAY-BREASTED WARBLER
[Paruline à poitrine baie], a PINE WARBLER [Paruline des pins], or a BLACKPOLL
WARBLER [Paruline rayée]? I’m personally leaning to Bay-breasted. Any comments
would be very much appreciated, before it gets a label.
** Brian Stone photographed a FISHING SPIDER [une araignée du genre
Dolomedes] in his Moncton backyard. However, it was as he opened the tent that
he used last week at Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia, so it may have
been a hitch-hiker from there. Fishing spider is the name given to several of
the DOLOMEDES group of spiders.
He also got an ASIAN MULTICOLOURED LADY BEETLE [Coccinelle asiatique], a
CABBAGE WHITE [Piéride du chou] butterfly, and a BUMBLEBEE [bourdon] close
up.
