The Chisholm folks at 67 Desroches St in Bouctouche hosted a TUFTED TITMOUSE [Mésange
bicolore] last winter that so many of us enjoyed an
audience with have another special bird patron this year — a BOREAL
CHICKADEE [Mésange à tête brune] that has been visiting the past 2 weeks.
Jean-Paul and Stella LeBlanc saw it on Monday and got a photo of it. As they
were birding the Bouctouche area, the LeBlanc’s also saw a BROWN CREEPER
[Grimpereau brun], always a special bird to see busy as they always
are.
** Dave Christie spotted a good sized WOODCHUCK [Marmotte] out
checking things in a field at Mary’s Point on Monday. It seems early for this
deep hibernator, as there can’t be much available to start its spring foraging
on vegetation. Dave also comments he noted approximately 125 blackbirds around
John Inman’s yard, seemingly a blend of both COMMON GRACKLES [Quiscale bronzé]
and RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS [Carouge à épaulettes] and saw blackbirds elsewhere in
the area, however, he has had only 2 Red-Winged Blackbirds drop by his own yard
briefly so far, expect that will change soon.
