** Jamie Burris reports that
things seem to be unexpectedly quiet around his Riverview feeder yard, but was
pleased to have a BOHEMIAN
WAXWING [Jaseur boréal] come by on Saturday morning to check
out the Mountain Ash shrub. Hopefully,
it was just a scout that will bring back the rest of its kin for a visit – and
a second one did arrive later in the day.
** As a heads-up, the Nature Moncton
bird feeder tour is scheduled for next Saturday, February 18th ,
with the now becoming traditional start at Billy and Jean Renton’s with a
country breakfast waiting to fuel the start of the day of shorter stops to end
up at Pat Poirier’s in the afternoon for additional fuel. The write-up is added, but itinerary in
between the first and last stops may change.
Note contact phone numbers to join the group at any time.
Date: Saturday, February 18, 2017.
The time for Nature Moncton’s Winter
Bird Feeder Tour is fast approaching.
This now annual winter outing has been organised by the Nature
Moncton Activities Committee members and we hope to see a good turnout this
year.
I want to thank the members who have allowed us to come to view
the birds visiting their feeders.
Special thanks to two members who will be welcoming us into their
homes as well. The first stop on the tour will be at the Renton’s home as they
have once again graciously invited us to watch the variety of birds visiting
their many feeders while enjoying some warm breakfast refreshments. The tour
will end at Pat & Nelson Poirier’s where we will be able to see first hand
Nelson’s great ideas for bird feeding stations.
Remember: Come prepared with a
supply of water, your binoculars, camera etc. You will need to wear warm layers
of clothing and boots as we will be out most of the morning.
General schedule:
- 8:45 am: Meet at Coliseum
parking lot to organise car pooling.
- 9:00 am: Leave promptly to
