A short edition today as many naturalists are attending the Festival of Nature in St. Andrews.
**Jane LeBlanc captured some pleasing photos of early-blooming plants around her St. Martins yard, including RHODORA [Rhododendron du Canada] which sends out its purple-pink flowers before its leaves, HOBBLEBUSH [Bois d'original] in bloom with its false petals blended with its true flowers, and Serviceberry shrub [Amélanchier] with all its other local names like Shadbush, Saskatoon Berry, Indian Pear, and more.

**Yvette Richard visited Dieppe Rotary Park on Friday. She saw lots of activity, including a young WHITE-TAILED DEER [Chevreuil] that followed her about for a time, male and female GREEN-WINGED TEAL [Sarcelle d'hiver], CEDAR WAXWINGS [Jaseur d'Amérique], and lots of MALLARD [Canard colvert] ducklings playing chase and chasing bugs around the third watering hole.
