**Doreen Rossiter comments she’s having a lot of BLUE JAYS
[Geai bleu] around her Alma feeder yard, but two in particular are taking her
attention, as they passed a black oil sunflower seed back and forth continually
for fifteen to twenty minutes on Friday. There seems to have been a lot of
comments recently about wildlife doing bonding rituals in preparation for
spring.
**Sterling Marsh made a pass of the Anderson Marsh Road on the
Tantramar Marsh on Friday, to note a light-morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK [Buse pattue] perched on a manure
pile, preening its feathers. Sterling stopped by a marsh barn for lunch, and
while eating lunch and reading the paper, a beautiful RED FOX [Renard roux]
strolled by right in front of him and watched him eat lunch, possibly thinking
it would make a good Fox lunch as well. Sterling comments it looked well-fed and had glossy rich pelage. This is Red Fox mating
season and males can be very bold.
