** Jane LeBlanc and Judith Ives from St. Martins, as well as a keen birder friend from Ontario, traveled to the lagoon in Petitcodiac to see the Pink-footed Goose. Luckily, other birders with scopes were there to point it out to them.

They stopped at the Hampton lagoon on the way home and saw Northern Pintails, Green-winged Teals, a male Gadwall, as well as other ducks.

(Editor’s note: Jane’s photo of the Gadwall nicely shows the chestnut-edged scapulars that we see in flight as a chestnut patch in front of the white speculum.)

 

**Deer hunting season is on and the White-tailed Deer have their plan set out to stay camouflaged and near human dwellings!

Lisa Morris took photographs of some animals doing just that on Sunday.
