**Louise Nichols was eating lunch
Wednesday to practically fall off her chair when she saw a Yellow-billed
Cuckoo fly into the tree in her front yard. She grabbed the camera to get a
couple of photos through the window, then went outside and followed it to the
willow tree by their pond where she was able to get a few more photos before it
flew off and eventually disappeared, never to be seen again. It was migrating
and obviously on the move.
Louise comments she feels the photos
are just documentary, but she really liked the one where the wing is spread out.
Louise (and am sure many of us) never realized this species had the large
rufous patch on the wings. Louise’s take: nice when they come to you once in a
while as this was a lifer for her.
**With breeding season well past, the
Double-crested Cormorant adults and young-of-the-year are flocking up
into the huge flocks we see in the spring pre-breeding. Aldo Dorio photographed
a flock of 2000+ off Hay Island on Wednesday. These single file lines in flight
can sometimes seem almost endless.
Aldo also photographed a group of
mushrooms I suspect to be of the Suillus species with the colourful caps
and the angular pores underside.
He also
photographed the beautiful sunset in Neguac similar to what most of New
Brunswick is enjoying this week.
**New Nature Moncton member Cathy
Simon got started by purchasing a new camera to take nature photos. Cathy
shares her first production of a Red-breasted Nuthatch at Mapleton Park.
Looking forward to your photos Cathy.
