An important head’s up notice. Due to unseen circumstances the Intertidal
Workshop and Field Trip scheduled for this coming Saturday and Sunday will be
postponed until next spring.
** Louise and Maurice Richard were suspecting a BLACK BEAR was visiting
their apple tree by their Acadieville cabin. Maurice set up a camera and got a
video of a very content BLACK BEAR enjoying the apple crop on Tuesday
night.
Aldo Dorio photographed a White-throated Sparrow from the rear that could easily be mistaken for a White-crowned Sparrow from that position. Note the head marking arrangement. He also got a photo of a fall issue Palm Warbler.
** Brian Stone and I made an impromptu run to the Tantramar Marsh just in
advance of a dusk on Wednesday to check for a SHORT-EARED OWL [Hibou des
marais]. We did see a few as dusk settled but it was getting quite dark before
they moved into the area we had staked out. It was hard to say how many may be
there. It is a huge marsh but there are a few for sure. Too late in the day for
photos but a fantastic sunset, RING-NECKED PHEASANTS [Faisan de Colchide] were
active as expected but no other notable bird activity other than some migrating
duck pods were noted.
