Michel Roy and Frank Branch were in
the right place at the right time on Tuesday to get a few nice photos of an
immature Prairie Warbler at Village des Poirier near Maisonnette which is not
far from Caraquet. The Prairie Warbler is an occasional visitor to New
Brunswick usually in the fall and always a very welcome find. It is a tail
pumper like our common native Palm Warbler.
**Jean Renton and Nicole Ferris went on a targeted mushroom hunt on Tuesday.
They saw lots of Chanterelles and some Hedgehog mushrooms. The one prize they
found was the Blue Chanterelle (Polyozellus
multiplex). This mushroom grows in blue clumps producing a white spore
print. It is uncommon in New Brunswick but I understand it is more common in
western Canada. The present conditions of cooler nights and increased moisture
should be ideal for mushroom proliferation. Nicole shares a few photos and will
try to get a spore print today
**Aldo Dorio got photos of BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER [Pluvier
argenté] on Hay Island on Monday showing few remaining remnants of their
breeding plumage as they move into basic plumage. He also photographed a still
sharp looking male AMERICAN REDSTART [Paruline flamboyante] warbler.
** Bob Blake keeps a rainfall record from
his Second North River home. He reports he recorded a 183 mm of rain
complements of Dorian in less than 24 hours at his home.
