** Louise and Maurice Richard continue to have their regular visitor,
Mickey the MINK [ Vison d'Amerique ], making appearances along the river bank of
the Kouchibouguac River by their Acadieville cabin, and got a photo of it on
Friday. An AMERICAN BLACK DUCK [ Canard noir ] chose a rock in the middle of the
still open river for a photo op on Friday as well. Their RED SQUIRREL [ Ecureuil
roux ] with only half its tail continues to be present as well.
** Aldo Dorio got some nice close up photos of a RUFFED GROUSE [ Gelinotte
huppee ] at Malpec on Saturday, taking advantage of the bare ground to forage
before the snow arrived today.
** The Nature Moncton Information Line will be on vacation from Saturday,
Jan. 30 until Monday, February 08. We expect to be back up and running on
February 08. Feel free to leave any messages via email, or the telephone
recording at 384-6397. If anyone observes any uncommon or rare
bird species during this period, call Dave Christie at 882-2100, leaving a
message if necessary, and Dave will send it out over the bird alert.
