** Georges Brun got a distant documentary photo of a PEREGRINE FALCON
[Faucon pèlerin] perched on the big A logo on the east side of the Assumption
Place tower in the midst of a snow shower on Saturday afternoon. Things may be
coming to life for Moncton’s Peregrine family.
It is coincidental that a group of us were at Marsh Creek in Saint John on
Saturday, when a Peregrine Falcon flew over; it could have been a recent arrival
to that area as well.
** A NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD [Moqueur polyglotte] continues to be seen around
Louise and Maurice Richard’s home on Jones Lake. Louise got a photo of it in
their young English Walnut tree on Saturday.
** AMERICAN ROBINS [Merle d'Amérique] seemed to arrive en masse in the
Moncton area on Friday and Saturday. Janet Cormier says that she had a treeful
of Robins in her Salisbury Road yard on Saturday, while Anna Tucker reports that
the feeding frenzy of Robins and BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS [Jaseur boréal] continued on
Saturday outside her St. George Street apartment building.
