**Louise Richard spotted a group of 50-60 Black
Scoters that set down for a rest on their northerly migration on Wednesday on Jones Lake in Moncton.
Louise got a documentary photo.
**Yvette Richard visited the Hillsborough Railway area
on Tuesday to enjoy the warbler activity.
There were dozens of Palm Warblers
on the ground and catching insects everywhere along the tracks.
She was happy to see a Pine
Warbler.
Yvette visited Bell Marsh and Canada Geese were seen but not much else.
A Blue-winged Teal was at the Salisbury Lagoon that
was also fairly quiet other than a distant calling Pied-billed Grebe.
Yvette went for a drive to Fredericton on April 21st to find
wildlife along Route 105 (the old TransCanada Highway)
A Great Blue Heron was
noted while she was photographing a Moose
and the heron was seriously trying to hide behind the reeds appearing rather comical.
(Editors note: Moose at this time of year often have portions of their pelage
denuded from scratching winter ticks. This animal appears to have been spared
of any serious winter tick infestation and looking great)
A pair of Northern Pintails was
seen at the McManus Reserve in Memramcook at the end of the day.
**Bob Blake
comments he heard their resident Hermit
Thrush singing Monday evening when he put out the nightly peanut butter
lunch for his Flying Squirrels.
