**John
Inman had a pleasant quartet of avian patrons visit his Harvey yard on Saturday
to include a Baltimore Oriole, a Black-throated Green Warbler, a Palm
warbler, a Blue-headed Vireo, and a Red-eyed Vireo suggesting
a fall movement post nesting.
**Phil
Riebel captured two photos of an American Lady butterfly in very prime
fresh condition on September 17 nicely showing a hindwing view and open front
wing view. It was nectaring on an equally prime fall blooming sedum.
(Editor’s note: yes, by the time you read this
edition chances are it will be officially fall!)
**Aldo Dorio again sends a photo of an adult Black-crowned
Night-heron at the Neguac wharf. They are either lingering there for a bit
or else new ones are using it as a favoured pitstop.
**Georges Brun photographed sandpipers from the
walking bridge at the mouth of Halls Creek near Chateau Moncton and at the
observation deck nearby on Saturday.
A juvenile Spotted Sandpiper seemed to be in
its perfect habitat along the minuscule sediment deposition at the mouth
of the creek.
The Sandpipers seemed to be mostly Semipalmated
Sandpipers and one White-rumped Sandpiper He felt fortunate to see approximately 125+ with 20 close to his position. The site they chose with some vegetation and its riprap
hid them well from view for the most part.
