**A very important message
below from Nature Moncton president Cathy Simon:
📣 We want your feedback!
Nature Moncton is inviting
members and attendees to take a few minutes to complete a short survey about
our monthly presentations. The survey includes just 10 quick
questions and asks what you enjoy, what could be improved, and what
topics or formats you’d like to see going forward. 🌿Your input
will help guide future programming at Nature Moncton, so we’d really
appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
👉 Please fill out the survey here. Thank you for
helping us make our presentations as engaging and relevant as possible 💚
**Jane LeBlanc found the
resident pair of bald eagles on 'the ocean floor' on St. Martins Beach at
very low tide on Saturday. They very briefly engaged in mating behaviour before
they flew off in different directions.
**This item is of
historical interest revolving around a clear, good-quality photo John Inman got
on June 10, 2018.
A lot of birders have spent
time examining this photo, and the general consensus is that it is suspected to
be a juvenile male painted bunting. The painted bunting is a rare bird
in New Brunswick, and a juvenile male is even more so. It is also a bit of a
surprise that it turned up in the month of June.
“Never say never” when it
shows up in the yard of John Inman!
