** On Monday, Nov. 21, Doreen Rossiter was looking out
the picture window of her Alma home admiring her female Red-bellied Woodpecker
when a hawk swooped through the yard after the woodpecker. The woodpecker
crashed into a window and succumbed. She had had it since Nov. 4, and it had
become quite tame. Doreen is now up to 3 Northern Cardinals that come
almost daily: 1 male, 2 females.
Doreen’s daughter,
Kathie Carter has had a Pine Warbler since Nov. 3. She thought that was
what it was but didn’t know we had any warblers bigger than an American
Goldfinch. It’s eating suet and shelled peanuts along with picking at the
mixed seed.
**It’s great to hear that Northern New
Brunswick is enjoying the recent influx of Northern Cardinals and
Red-bellied Woodpeckers. Rosita Lanteigne shares some of the activity they are
seeing there.
A pair of Northern Cardinals arrived to
the yard of Michel Godin on Chemin St-Simon in Caraquet and the male was still
present on November 22. On November 20, a Sharp-shinned Hawk seized the female
before Rosita’s horrified eyes on November 20. Rosita sends a photo of the
feathers that she recovered in the snow of what remained of the female.
Also in the region, there is a female
Northern Cardinal with Jean-Guy Robichaud in Inkerman and 2 Northern Cardinals
with Gilles Landry in Landry Office.
Rosita is also pleased to have a
Red-bellied Woodpecker that has been present in her yard since November 3.
It would seem that all of New Brunswick
is enjoying these two special bird species this winter.
