** A pleasant surprise for Carol Shea of Upham on Tuesday, when two CANADA JAYS [Mésangeai du Canada] arrived to enjoy her suet blend. We just don’t get this special bird visiting our feeder yards very often; the Canada Jay nests very early in the season, so it could be assumed at this point that this may be a pair. It’s always special to have Canada’s national bird be a patron to your feeder yard!

** A ‘heads-up’ on the next Nature Moncton event: our Annual Feeder Tour will take place on Saturday, February 15th. This popular annual event provides the opportunity to see different feeder yard ideas and their patrons, blended with comradeship and good food. The write-up, as it  appears at www.naturemoncton.com under ‘Upcoming Events’, is attached below.
NATURE MONCTON BIRD FEEDER TOUR
Saturday, February 15, 2020 (with a weather date of Saturday, February 22)
8:30 am at Coliseum Parking Lot


Nature Moncton’s annual bird feeder tour will take place on Saturday February 15th. 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
