very lively turnout to her bird feeder yard near Salisbury on the Wednesday
storm day with 100+ EVENING GROSBEAKS [Gros-bec errant], 30 AMERICAN
GOLDFINCHES [Chardonneret jaune], both WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCHES [Sittelle à
poitrine blanche] and RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES [Sittelle à poitrine rousse], AMERICAN
TREE SPARROWS [Bruant hudsonien], one WHITE-THROATED SPARROW [Bruant à gorge
blanche], plus other expected regulars. Lois comments that it was a wonderful
but noisy feeder storm day!
** The Nature Moncton Annual Birdfeeder
Tour is a mere few weeks away. This event has turned into an excellent day of
comradeship and seeing ideas for our feeder yards, birds, and other culinary
treats to boot. The write up for it is attached below. Unfortunately this is
not on the website as yet due to the website challenges that are being worked
on and there are lots more planned activities to be publicised on the website soon.
NATURE MONCTON BIRD FEEDER TOUR
Nature
Moncton’s annual bird feeder tour will take place on Saturday January 26th. Participants are asked to meet at 8:30 AM at
the northeast corner of the coliseum parking lot. The first stop will be the Renton’s in Stilesville
to see the many birds in their well-stocked feeder yard while socializing over
a delicious pot-luck breakfast.
Participants are asked to bring food contributions. After leaving the Renton’s, the group will
travel to Mapleton Park for a quick stop to see the ducks, then on to a few
other feeders to finally end up at Nelson and Pat Poirier’s in the
afternoon. Come and enjoy a day with
fellow birding enthusiasts along with the excitement of seeing what turns up at
the visited feeders. All are welcome,
Nature Moncton member or not.
