**Oct. 10th and 11th…early morning…what a spectacle from Norbert Dupuis’ bedroom window… hundreds of Canada geese flying over Memramcook Valley and his house and landing across the road in a cut corn field. On Sunday morning, there was very little activity; they must be feeling the fall chill as well.

For a couple of days, Norbert has had two pairs of purple finch.

**John Inman noticed a bald eagle leaving the yard early Sunday morning with a branch to shore up the nest.

John is noting a lot of honeybees at a hummingbird feeder he still has out.

A second male red-bellied woodpecker showed up and he wonders if they will both stay as they did not get along in the past. The one on the suet showed a bit of belly coloration.

(Editor's note: a pleasant Thanksgiving day greeting to all. We have so much to be thankful for!)
