** A very big thank you to Kelly Honeyman, JD Irving’s woodlands naturalist, for taking time on a Saturday to lead a very keen group of naturalists to some of his protected sites in the Prosser Mountain area where we got to see several plants and orchids most of us had never seen before. Kelly went into what habitats to look for to find plants and wildlife which was very helpful information to be thinking of when in tolerant hardwood stands. It was a real treat of a day to be back together and learn so much to appreciate woods hikes all the more. Hundreds of photos were taken and lots will be coming out in the coming days to share when I suspect that very tired participants get to look at their efforts. It was rough walking, lots of hills and woody debris to get over, but it was worth every moment.
We accidentally apparently went too close to an OVENBIRD nest as occupant put the run to the group which was complied with promptly.
Brian Stone got several photos of the participants trekking with more actual observations to follow over next days.
A bird
vocalization had us all stumped. Louise
Nichols got a short recording of it. She
sent it to Stu Tingley who identified it as a BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER. Check it out at the link below. Others recorded it and we may get more info
on it.

** Jane LeBlanc sends a pleasant photo
of a COMMON LOON pair that she photographed while canoeing on Henry Lake near
St. Martins. She saw no youngsters with
them.
** Pat Gibbs is now accustomed to
seeing the occasional RING-NECKED PHEASANT in the Lewisville Rd. area of
Moncton, but she did not expect to see two cocks dueling on her front
lawn. Since she has not seen any females
this summer and there is no water supply nearby, she wondered what they were
fighting about. They looked serious, so
they must have come up with some reason for the altercation.
