**More good Sparrow [Bruant] news: David
Lilly in Oromocto reports that he had a few
DARK-EYED JUNCOS [Junco ardoisé] and a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW [Bruant à gorge
blanche] patronize his feeder yard recently.
Jean Renton comments that she has had up to
three PILEATED WOODPECKERS [Grand Pic] around their Canaan Forks camp, but one
arrives each evening at dusk and goes to a nesting cavity hole in a tree aside
the camp. She always knows when it arrives, as it makes a particular sound before
going in for the night.
**Aldo Dorio photographed
a flock of approximately 40 SNOW BUNTINGS [Plectrophane des neiges] at Hay
Island on Friday. The northern contingent seems to be joining us on schedule.
Hopefully we will enjoy some SNOWY OWLS [Harfang des neiges] and LAPLAND
LONGSPURS [Plectrophane lapon] soon. There are lots of reports of RED-THROATED
LOONS [Plongeon catmarin], HORNED GREBES [Grèbe esclavon], ICELAND [Goéland
arctique] and GLAUCOUS GULLS [Goéland bourgmestre] that have already arrived,
as well as a few ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS [Buse pattue].
