** Carmella Melanson had a YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD [Carouge à tote jaune] arrive to her Grand Barachois yard on Saturday morning.  It stayed for about 10 minutes and left, but arrived for a return visit in late afternoon.  It came alone in the morning, but in the afternoon there was a flock of EUROPEAN STARLINGS [Étourneau sansonnet] next-door, so it may have been travelling with them, which this species often does when it shows up in New Brunswick.  Carmella got a nice photo of her guest.
** A special owl sighting by Danny Sullivan on Friday.  He spotted a NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL [Petite nyctale] at 3:30 pm in a Spruce tree just north of his home on the Communication Rd, which is off the Irishtown Rd.  He was fortunate to get some nice pictures of this leprechaun of an owl.  Danny also shares some photos of a RED-NECKED GREBE [Grèbe jougris] that he got in the Irishtown Nature Park Reservoir on October 14th. Nice to have photos coming in from the Irishtown Nature Park.
