**Wayne Corcoran who lives in
Chelmsford, near Quarryville seems to have had the Evening Grosbeak capital of New Brunswick to
his birdfeeder yard for some years. Wayne comments it’s
been a very quiet fall so far with the birds patronizing just the ususal
chickadees, Blue Jays, woodpeckers, etc. Within the last week or so a few
more birds are arriving with the American Goldfinch at 25-30. The Evening
Grosbeaks were coming early fall but left again until Sunday when there
were approximately 30+. Mourning Doves are in the 35 range, a few Grey Squirrels,
and woodpeckers. He is noticing a lot of birds still in the woods yet probably
because of the lack of snow yet.
Wayne had a Black
Bear a day before Christmas that left hibernation for an outing. He is hoping
a few more birds will come in with certain to arrive snow.
**In an effort to only display the pertinent
information on the Red Bark Phenomenon that
Cathie Simon found in the Irishtown Nature Park, it ended up in the loss of
some of the photos that Cathie had taken. The photos are attached today showing
the tree affected by the fungus and a photo of the one from the website that
discusses this phenomenon. To read more about this phenomenon, scroll back to
the text of yesterday’s edition.
The missed photos of the White-winged Crossbills and Pine Siskin that Cathie took at the
park are also added today.
