** The MONCTON CHRISTMAS BIRD
COUNT is coming up this coming Saturday, December 19, with arrangements
completed by coordinator Roger LeBlanc. Saturday is actually count day, but
count week includes 3 days before and 3 days after count day, that means count
week includes Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, and Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday of next week. So any different bird species seen during this week
period become very important to be included in the tally. If anyone spots birds
of interest during this period, leave a message with the Information Line either
by responding to the daily email or on the line directly at 384-6397; and that
information will be passed on to Roger to be included. Many less commonly
encountered species like Owls, Brown Creepers, Mockingbirds, Peregrine Falcon,
and others could be easily missed on Count Day — so keep watch for birds in the
count zone and get them tallied. Again this means count week starts TOMORROW,
Wednesday, and goes to next Tuesday inclusively. There are many possibilities
for count week, so start watching especially closely, tomorrow through next
Tuesday.
