**Norbert Dupuis shares
more special moments with his northern cardinals and evening
grosbeaks that are regular patrons.
**On Saturday, Brian Stone
joined Cathy Simon and Isabelle Simon and went on an outing to the Cape Tormentine
and Tantramar areas that included a visit to the famous Painted Bunting spot.
The bunting was present for a short time to pose for a few photos, but mostly
stayed safely in and around the evergreen bough shelter made for him by Alain
Clavette to hopefully protect him from predators and weather extremes.
At Cape Tormentine, they
saw a pair of male long-tailed ducks and a female common eider, but not
much else. They drove through the Tantramar Marsh on the way home and saw a
couple of rough-legged hawks and northern harriers, and had a close
flyover by an adult bald eagle, but they did not see the target golden
eagle this time.
