**Georges Brun again saw two PEREGRINE
FALCONS [Faucon pèlerin] on the Assumption
Place logo on Friday morning. They would appear to be considering overwintering
in that area. They may have taken note of the number of PIGEONS and STARLINGS [Étourneau] on the
Moncton Christmas Bird Count!
A BALD
EAGLE seemed not to mind the crispy weather Thursday morning a few hundred feet
( 60 m.) downriver from the mouth of Halls Creek. (south side or
Riverview marsh) quite adult. The adult female was perched on her
trunk upriver near the Trans Aqua secondary phase of their upgrade.
The
female Northern Harrier was flying and hunting for prey near the gazebo close
to the river.
**Brian Coyle again got some great BOBCAT
[Lynx roux] track photos in the near-perfect snow conditions to show details.
Note particularly the roundness of the print of the C-shaped ridge between the
toe pad and the heel pad, and the lack of any nail imprint. There’s also a
tendency for feline prints to be slightly off at an angle. It’s chancy to get
the right substrate of snow to give details like this, but today should be a
good day.
