**A Ruffed Grouse was in the birch tree in Jane and Ed LeBlanc's St. Martins
yard Sunday morning. The grouse really like this tree. There has been 3 or 4
sometimes in the winter.
The nutrition packed buds of deciduous
trees are favoured abundant forage of the Ruffed Grouse during the winter
months, except when sleet storms cover them to make access and challenge.
Also, Jane and Ed LeBlanc were out for
a walk Sunday morning, and noticed a Raccoon
curled up in a ball very near the road. They first thought it might be dead,
but when they spoke, it peeked at them, before going back to sleep!
**It was
reported to Yolande LeBlanc that a Cattle Egret was seen in Memramcook on
Saturday. It's in company with cows, of course, but depending on which herd,
may or may not be visible from a street. It would be on private property and
please respect that, and suggested not to intrude. Yolande looked Sunday morning,
but any self-respecting cattle were hiding in shelters.
People
could check across from LeBlanc Meat Market on Rue La Montain. Yolande comments there is a bull with the cows
and he WILL protect his herd.
**The date
of the Moncton CBC was incorrectly reported yesterday as December 19. It is
actually Saturday, December 18 and has been corrected on blog.

Trail
cameras have opened up a new world of observation of Mother Nature’s community
that we would not normally get to sit in on.
Brian
Donovan has mastered trail camera used to a fine art and by trial and error has
collected many still photos and videos of wildlife in their own natural
setting.
Brian will
share his methods, camera use, and some of the great material he has captured.
A lot of his efforts have been in remote sections of the Renous Highway that
crosses central New Brunswick’s hinterland with a community of wildlife we
don’t often get to see.
Brian will
have a lot to share.
A don’t miss
presentation.
All are
welcome, Nature Moncton member or not.
