**While Barb Curlew was visiting her
neighbour, Pat Latimer-Martin, at her home at Dennis
Beach on Friday morning, Pat and Linda Mantel observed a NORTHERN
SAW-WHET OWL [Petite Nyctale] perched against the house, quite oblivious to
them. Always a treat to have a chance to observe this little leprechaun of the
owls as well. Barb also was able to get a photo.
**Jane LeBlanc continues to monitor BALD
EAGLE [Pygargue à tête blanche] activity along the St. Martins Beach. It was the first time this year they saw an
eagle on the nest. There’s approximately 300 metres
of marsh between where one can safely walk and the nest, but the white head and
tail of the eagle were clearly visible. Jane comments it’s actually hard to see
the nest unless the eagle is in it. It is Bald Eagle nesting time, and the nest
occupancy reports should be coming in soon. Jane also saw a pair of SNOW
BUNTINGS [Plectrophane des neiges] on the beach that must be getting brighter
now, going into breeding plumage.
