**Brian Coyle again had a Bobcat visit his trail camera set-up, taking a very close look and then strolling away to give a great observation of this animal in its natural environment. Take a look at the video link Brian captured of the visit below:
**Norbert Dupuis shares a photo of a White-throated Sparrow that
has been visiting his Memramcook East yard daily all winter.
(Editor’s note: Norbert asks about the gender of the sparrow. The White-throated
Sparrow isn't dimorphic and the genders cannot be differentiated. There are
plumage variations but not defined by gender.)
**As Brian Stone was leaving Memramcook on Thursday evening
the full Moon shone brilliantly in a clear sky and Brian took a
moment to photograph the beauty that hung silently above and illuminated
clearly below.
**Several of us were up on the summit of Assumption Place on Thursday to
check out the Peregrine Falcon nest box. Although the falcons are not
using the nest box at the moment, they did some fly passes keeping an eye on
their summer cottage.
More to follow in the months ahead!
