**Jane LeBlanc had the
male and female northern cardinal visit her yard for New Years Eve. The
male posed for a photo. Later, driving down to St. Martins, Jane noticed at
least 30-40 Bohemian waxwings in a hardwood tree. She stopped for
photos.
**Norbert Dupuis had a common
redpoll visit his Memramcook East yard. It did not go to feeders but very
possibly was interested in the seeds of the birch catkins or the alder catkins
where it was perched.
A male evening grosbeak
posed for Norbert’s camera, showing off its buttercup yellow plumage.
**Nelson Poirier was able
to initiate New Year’s Eve with a pleasant view of a lunar corona from
the dark sky area of his Miramichi River camp. More information on this optical
phenomenon is at the link below:

**When Nelson Poirier spotted what was on his grandson's T-shirt, he felt it was too good not to be shared with the group for a light moment.
