**Dave Miller experienced an interesting scenario on
Tuesday morning on the Taylor Rd. A mother deer will leave a very young fawn in
an area to camouflage it and leave the area when potential danger is around.
The fawn will stay motionless. Dave came across a mother deer and her fawn,
the mother deer left the area to hopefully distract the potential danger. Dave
went right up to the fawn and touched it and left. He could see the mother deer
come right back to it in the mirror of his vehicle as he drove
away.
**Susan Richards captured a photo of a GRAY CATBIRD on
Tuesday that nicely captures the cinnamon under tail coverts and the black crown
patch.
**Georges Brun spotted a pair of GADWALL ducks in the
Petitcodiac river in front of the Chocolate River Station on Tuesday. Seems
like an odd place to see a gadwall but they no doubt have another nearby
destination in mind.
Kerry Lee Morris Cormier dropped by the Johnson Mills
site on Monday and Tuesday. On May
29, there were 300+ BLACK SCOOTERS and on May 30, there were 60+ SEMIPALMATED
SANDPIPERS and one SEMIPALMATED PLOVER. Kerry Lee comments the sandpipers seemed so plump
she thought they were SANDERLINGS at
first.
There also seemed to be lots of
warblers most notably
BLACK-THROATED GREEN. YELLOW-RUMPED,and
NORTHERN PARULA.
.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada Interpretive Centre will not open until for the shorebird season until July 4 but the observation deck from where the sightings were recorded is accessible
