** Richard Blacquiere reports there
were at least 4 young-of-the-year TURKEY VULTURES [Urubu à tête
rouge] present
at the Hampton lagoon on Friday morning, August 28th, sunbathing
with their senior kin. These were the
first that Richard has seen this year, and he monitors that area closely. Last year, Richard saw the first
young-of-the-year Turkey Vultures at the same site on August 26th,
so a close time frame.
** Jane LeBlanc got a very close-up
zoomed-in photo of a RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD [Colibri
à gorge rubis] at
her St. Martins feeder. The patrons of
the moment are normally the young-of-the-year and females, but some reports are
saying that males are staying longer than normally expected this year. Suzanne Rousseau in Sussex is yet another to
comment on Yolande LeBlanc’s male hummingbird presence. She also has a male still present with a
female coming with it.
** Aldo Dorio got a photo of a
brilliant male WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL [Bec-croisé bifascié] atop a spruce tree which seem to be
this species’ popular spot to survey its surroundings. He also got a selection of GREATER YELLOWLEGS [Grand
Chevalier] and SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS
[Bécassin roux]. We tried to make one into a possible Stilt
Sandpiper, but couldn’t get it by Gilles Belliveau’s thorough scrutiny!
** Brian Stone returns Yolande’s
comments on late male RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS [Colibri à gorge rubis] with a photo from his hummer
feeder. Brian is getting a male and a
female in attendance, and a BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE [Mésange à tête noire] is enjoying sipping the water in the
hummingbird feeder moat.
