** Nature Moncton November Meeting
November
15, 2022, at 7:00 PM
Subject:
Getting to Know Common Lichens
Speaker:
Kendra Driscoll - New Brunswick Museum
Moncton
Rotary Lodge
Lichens are
a fascinating community in Mother Nature’s world, and they are with us to enjoy
all year long.
Kendra
Driscoll, Curatorial and Research Technician for Botany and Mycology at the New
Brunswick Museum, is a specialist in lichens and has helped us appreciate
lichen photos submitted to Nature News, always with nice-to-know commentary.
Kendra will
tailor her presentation to amateur lichen appreciation by introducing 10 of the
most commonly encountered species with some identification features of each to
help us enjoy our outdoor experiences all the more by being able to call
several by name.
Expect
Kendra’s contagious enthusiasm to get us all looking a bit more closely at
something that cooperatively will stay still to be checked out and does not
have to be stalked to look at!
All are
welcome, Nature Moncton member or not.
This
presentation will be delivered virtually at the Zoom link below:

**The Nature Moncton field trip to Port Elgin and Cape Jourimain
is now scheduled for this coming Saturday, November 19. All details in tomorrow’s
edition.
**Jim Carroll didn’t think he would get to see another Ash-Throated Flycatcher in NB after viewing the very cooperative
visitor to Clarence Cormier’s yard 2 years ago on Nov 09. Jim was shocked to have
one pop up on the trail next to him in Lorneville, Saint John on Nov 13th.
He managed to view it in some alders and in a weedy, seedy area before it
disappeared, but he was able to capture some outstanding photos.
**The Northern Cardinals just keep on coming and it’s great to hear!
Bob Blake reports they had a male Northern Cardinal visit their Second
North River yard on Sunday, the first they have seen in their yard for several
years.
