**To
update on the Short-beaked Common Dolphin Barb Curlew and Rick Elliott
found beached and deceased on Thursday at Cape Enrage, this sea mammal was
washed back to sea by Friday due to the very high tides at the moment
associated with the New Moon. The carcass could potentially be again washed up
in another location, so folks are asked to watch the shoreline for it as there
is interest in collecting it for study/research determinations.
As
indicated earlier, this is not a common species of dolphin to appear in the Bay
of Fundy.
**With
the recent weather, there has been little nature sleuthing so no new
observations or photographs to share.
This
makes it a good day to visit the Nature Moncton website at www.naturemoncton.com as the Activities Committee has been
able to line up several activities over the coming months which are posted at
the site under ‘Upcoming Events ’.
Activities
include a day round of wharves starting at Cap Lumiere and working down
the coast which will take place next Saturday, January 28. This will be
followed by the always popular feeder tour on February 11.
Also
posted is the lineup for Nature Moncton monthly meeting presentations for
February, April, and May with the March presentation to be posted soon.
It
is also a good time to review the excellent audio video efforts of Evar Simon
of the individual speakers at Petitcodiac River Appreciation Day under the bar ‘Petitcodiac
River Appreciation Day Videos’.
The
activities committee is also thinking ahead to the summer series of Wednesday
evening walkabouts and would like ideas for places to visit on those
evenings. If you have some thoughts on a good place to check out, advise Fred
Richards via email at fredrichards@rogers.com or via phone at 506-334-0100.
There
is also an unused car window mount for camera or viewing scope for sale under
the ‘Buy and Sell’ bar.
Webmaster
Brian Stone has arranged it so all these items can be opened from the homepage
