**John Inman had an Indigo Bunting drop by his Harvey yard on Wednesday. The very bland plumage would make it a female or young-of-the-year bird.
There are breeding records for the Indigo Bunting in New Brunswick which are relatively few but may be on the rise.
John also had a Ruffed Grouse sneaking across his backyard on Wednesday.
Shannon Inman spotted and photographed a Chipping Sparrow near their home that had gone into its non-breeding plumage.

**When the morning walk to Prosser Lookout was canceled last weekend owing to rain, Barbara Smith went for a walk in Riverview not long after the sky cleared. The autumn leaves were putting on a fabulous, flamboyant show.

(Editor’s note: Gotta love those maple trees!)
