**Moncton’s Tidal Bore is a significant attraction in Moncton for tourists and residents.

Georges Brun provides a printout of the Tidal Bore time schedule for 2026 with the amplitude of the bore each day and with a numerical figure beside it as to relative height.

Relative height is a bore size indicator where # 1 is the smallest and # 4 is the largest. This set of figures will be helpful for many to print or set aside as a document to know what to expect when we want to drop down to see it ourselves or show visitors.

The complete 2026 guide is available at the link below:

**Odell Park is a very popular intercity birding spot in Fredericton, where many people drop by to enjoy the trails through the old forest habitat. It is a destination for those who appreciate wildlife, whether a resident or a visitor to the area.

 

Wendy Rogers dropped by recently and commented that it was such a treat to see pileated woodpeckers twice and to have one close enough to photograph. The park was quiet that day except for blue jays and black-capped chickadees, but the two pileated woodpeckers were a consolation prize.
