The eider flocks are still moving up the Petitcodiac River. Georges Brun
spotted a flock of approximately 250 birds doing a fly pass at the bend of the
river near Château Moncton on Tuesday.
Jamie Burris had his Merlin return to take up sentry duty in his Riverview yard on Tuesday. It acted very much at home as Jamie photographed it comfortably preening itself and it stayed in the same spot as they moved about the yard and even as they drove away in their vehicle. They have not seen their pigeon troop return since the Merlin has arrived however Mourning Doves, Blue Jays, and Black-capped Chickadees seem to be around as usual.
Another great photo of an immature Red-tailed Hawk landing to beautifully show the spread banded tail of the immature Red-tailed Hawk before it posed for a few still photos.
