** The GRAY KINGBIRD remained in situ on Sunday and got
successful audiences of folks in the area of the home of Lorna Stokes, 624 Wilmot Road at Wilmot, Carleton County..
Several people
made rounds of roads in the Harvey to Riverside-Albert area to look for the
FORK-TAILED FLYCATCHER [Tyran des savanes] but it was not located. It may well still be in the area as the day
yesterday was cool and windy and not ideal for a flycatcher. Dave Christie was
among the searchers and reports that he watched a PEREGRINE FALCON [Faucon
pèlerin] make five unsuccessful attacks on a flock of ROCK PIGEONS [Pigeon
biset] at the Harvey dam on the Shepody River.
** It’s that
time of year when the HONEY MUSHROOMS [Armillaire couleur de miel] start
appearing and they are a popular edible. It would be very unusual to find one
alone. They grow in clumps, often around freshly cut stumps. The spore print is
off-white to yellowish and is usually easy to see by looking at a mushroom
growing under another in the clump, to see the spore print that has fallen on
it, as the photo shows. The partial veil is characteristic as well; it has a
tendency to stick out a bit, or even slant up in Elizabethan collar style, as
shown in the attached photos.
