**For
those who missed the apps workshop on Thursday night, May 8, or would like to
listen again, it was taped. The link to the excellent quality recording is below:
**Louise Nichols joined several other birders
out at the marsh at Shemogue to see the black-necked stilt that was
found on Sunday by Caroline Arsenault. The bird was far off in the marsh
when Louise arrived, but luckily, it moved closer and closer for some good
views in the end.
Louise also sends a couple of photos of a spring
peeper that Glen spotted on their lawn as he was mowing it (fortunately, he
saw it before running over it!) Louise moved it to a safer spot.
Interesting to note the small "suction cup toes" holding on to the
grass blades in one photo.
**Mac and Brenda Wilmot have an active Carolina
wren nest in the bow of an upturned canoe in their Lower Coverdale yard.
They have a Blink camera set up, but the nest
is a tunnel affair and dark, so viewing is less than ideal. Both parents are
busy hauling groceries; they're partial to mealworms.
**Jessica Boulanger-Mainville did a live interview on Radio-Canada on the show La Grande Virée
Monday morning to talk about Nature Moncton, what we do, some of our activities,
and also to talk about the peregrine falcons and nest cam. It’s in French, and the
link to the audio is the following: https://ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premiere/emissions/la-grande-viree/segments/rattrapage/2067956/nature-moncton-diffuse-en-direct-un-nid-faucons
