The camera on the peregrine
falcon nest box on the summit of Assumption Place is now live. When
checking the link to watch the activity, scroll down to the first large image,
which shows what is happening in real time.
All is outwardly quiet in
the nest box this morning, but that could be a very different scenario in a few
weeks!

**Jane LeBlanc had a very
brief visit from a male ruby-throated hummingbird on Saturday after
hearing of other hummingbird visits in St. Martins. The photo is documentary only, as it happened
very fast.
At last count, Jane also
had seven yellow-rumped warblers in her yard.
**The welcome heavy rains
of May 1st created a scenario of small streams becoming raging torrents of
water flow in many parts of New Brunswick.
Larry Sherrard captured
the action at Libby Falls, a normally small stream that empties into the
little Southwest Miramichi River. Take a look at the action at the link below:
(Editor’s note: One can
only imagine the amount of oxygen this flow is creating to refresh the little
Southwest Miramichi River that has experienced very low water levels this
spring.)
