** Jean-Paul LeBlanc reports that a plump EASTERN GRAY SQUIRREL [Écureuil
gris] has been providing entertainment at TUFTED TITMOUSE [Mésange bicolore]
headquarters in Bouctouche recently. He also says that their faithful NORTHERN
CARDINAL [Cardinal rouge] made the plunge to take black oil sunflower seeds from
a hanging feeder during the storm. It had always foraged on fallen seed,
pre-storm.
** January’s Nature Moncton meeting will be the annual members’ night,
scheduled for next Tuesday night, January 19 at Mapleton Rotary Lodge. Nature
Moncton is a very diversified group with many interests and this is the time to
share some of those interests in short, 5 to 15 minute vignettes that can be on
any subject in nature, from humorous skits, interesting places visited, poems,
good books read, and lots more.
Leave your name and subject with past president John Foster by phone at
384-7212, or e-mail fosterjs@nb.sympatico.ca Contact John A.S.A.P. so he can
plan the program for the evening.
Next meeting will be John’s last night as president, as he has tendered his
resignation to pursue other interests. John has faithfully led Nature Moncton
for several years, and his attentiveness and guidance have been truly
appreciated.
A nominating committee will be formed very shortly. Both president and
vice-president positions will need to be filled. If anyone would like to
volunteer for either of these, please offer your name by leaving a message on
the Information Line at 384-6397, or responding to any e-mail to the Nature
Moncton distribution list. Your response will be forwarded to the nominating
committee soon to be announced.
