**Mac Wilmot and his neighbour Sandra Doyle
in Lower Coverdale are now sharing regular visits from a male Red-bellied Woodpecker to their birdfeeder yards.
This uncommon species of woodpecker can become quite regular at a chosen feeder
yard for the winter when it arrives to it at this time of year.
**Shannon Inman got a photograph of
very mature Ghost Pipe plants. (Editor’s note: I don’t recall ever
seeing mature Ghost Pipe with a reddish head. Gart Bishop confirmed it as
indeed Ghost Pipe as Shannon had already suspected).
**Some Black-bellied Plovers
continued to be with us later in the season as can be expected.
Aldo Dorio was able to photograph 3
Black-bellied Plovers near the Neguac wharf on Saturday.
**The warmish fall weather we are
enjoying has some insects doing the same.
Lisa Morris photographed a Flower
Fly a.k.a. Hover Fly a.k.a. Syrphid fly nectaring on a late blooming
dandelion on Saturday.
