**Jean-Paul and Stella LeBlanc made a very surprising
observation at the Pointe Sapin wharf on Tuesday when they photographed an adult
and a juvenile BELUGA WHALE. They were actually inside the wharf area. The
potential of a mother and calf is a possibility. The juvenile can take several
years before becoming white. With stray belugas like this they occasionally stay
in an area. There is a population of belugas in the Gulf of St. Lawrence so it
could be assumed they have strayed from there. It's very important to enjoy
these animals from a distance and not to a try to approach them with boats as
they could easily be damaged by propellers. Jean-Paul and Stella got 4 excellent
photos of these two animals.
Laurie Murison from The Grand Manan Whale and Research
Station has confirmed the identification.
**Anna Tucker visited the Crowley Farm Rd. BALD EAGLES
nest on Wednesday, June 08 to see an adult bring a fish to the eaglets. By the
look of Anna's photos the eaglets are getting very well
fed.
**Susan Richards found an ONE-EYED SPHINX MOTH that
was day resting on a house screen at her Memramcook home on Tuesday
morning.
**Pat Muirhead got another photo of the juvenile GRAY JAY that
is visiting her Anagance yard for handouts along with at least one adult parent.
