Noah just spotted our first hummingbird of the season on the window feeder. I was standing there for a few minutes, he walks in the kitchen and says, "hummer!" I didn't notice it until he pointed it out, every year since he was 2 he sees the…Continue

I hadn't seen the falcons around the nest for a few weeks so I thought I'd take a walk early Saturday morning, I snapped a bunch of pics and look what I found after I downloaded them. He looks so little. He's standing guard looking over the nest…Continue

Today I saw a Yellow-rumped Warbler on the suet feeder, I dropped everything and replenished all the feeders and spread a bucketful of suet on tree bark. In 1997 we had a particularly cold spring. That year we had several species of warblers come…Continue

The One That Got Away
Posted on January 8, 2013 at 8:39am 1 Comment 3 Likes
This is a column I wrote early in December elaborating on a few of the sightings I posted here, maybe you'll get a chuckle at my inadequacies and it may help you remember the field marks better than I can. (Learn from the mistakes of others and all that...)
We've been keeping a yard list for just about 20 years now, the beauty of staying in one place for so long is bragging rights to a pretty good list, not great, I have a friend with about 50 more than me, but…

On Wednesday afternoon, pumped up from Sundays Hawk/Sea Duck watch I made it a point to take binoculars on our dog walk. We saw the male Peregrine Falcon and one duck that even with only 8x binoculars I was able to see all the field marks, including the orange bill of a Surf Scoter.
After talking to Ron Steeves about the numbers of ducks that passed New Horton, mostly in the morning, I thought I'd give it a couple hours in the morning and see what comes up our branch of the river.…
Continue Cliff Swallow Nest Site
Posted on April 21, 2011 at 9:04am 2 Comments 0 Likes
There had been some talk of building an alternative nest site for swallows in the Royal Oaks development. I was on board in an effort to stop a repeat of last year where upwards of 50 Cliff Swallow nests were destroyed.
I haven't been in contact with anyone recently and with the latest in the news I suspect building the wall on Royal Oaks property is not likely.
My question... does anyone know of another site near the area that would be suitable and who the contact people…

Cindy Quinn said… Yes, we met @ the Moncton Farmer's Market this winter... We are walking distance (Reynolds Road) and I've wanted to visit your 'bird house' but haven't had 2cents to put together and KNOW I'll want to buy something once I step inside!
Earlier this evening we saw a male and female mallard close to our feeders and hope they will make a summer home nearby, fyi.

Stuart Tingley said… - Hey Dwayne. Hawk watching season starts any day now. I've seen nice Red-tail flights at New Horton Ridge as early as March 4. I'm not sure how often I'll get down there this spring and I haven't spoken with Ron Steeves recently to see if he has time or the desire to go down. We had a lot of very slow days last spring but both of us were too stubborn to not go down once we started. I think I'll try to be much more selective about which days I go down this year but time will tell.

Anne Marsch said… Re: Butterfly links. Both sites I mentioned before are searched in the same way. You may want to have a look at the re-vamped site NOVASCOTIABUTTERFLIES.CA. Using this and the MBA list for N.B. would work in my opionion. See what others think first.

Okay, thanks. I decided just to use the Blog Posts once a week instead of adding yet another tab or group that people have to join. We'll try that to see how it works out, okay?

Hi Dwayne,
I was wondering if the Birding New Brunswick Website would like to add a new section to the site called Bird Trivia. I received a Bird Trivia Book from my daughter for Christmas last year and it has many interesting facts that members might be interested in. I could add a comment a week if you think that would be a good idea. Eg. Did you know that a Petrel was named after the fact that it seems to walk on water much like St. Peter did?

Since taking the picture on april the 21st, I have not seen the female bluebird, since that day. The male(which was bigger) was around the back yard all day the 22nd, flying from the birdhouse to the apple tree and seem to be waiting for his partner, but he also dissapeared the next day. About 3 days ago we saw 2 (tree) swallows looking inside the birdhouse, and seem interrested in taking it over. Hopefully the bluebirds will be back, and might be interested in another birdhouse further in the field, which was built intensionaly for them a few years ago. Have not seen the swallows in a few days either, maybe the temperature is too cold for them?

Hi Dwayne,
What hours are you open at the Market on Saturdays?

Barbara Breau said… - Thanks Dwayne. I'll need to pick up some different types of feeders. When are you open?
- At 7:55am on April 28, 2011, Barbara Breau said…
I am curious about placement and types of feeders. Mostly I would like to see the smaller birds closer and try to find a place to distract the grackles and bossy bigger birds. They are giving the woodpeckers a hard time right now.
I have a pond and huge property and tons of black birds. Not so many smaller birds right now.

Gerry Mazerolle said… - Good luck with your blind set-up Dwayne. Your opening should be big enough to allow you to stick your stuff out a bit in case some land on the side a bit. It's best to have a square foot or two for a opening and then have some sort of cloth material inside that you can use as a curtain sometimes. When the birds are not to shy you can hang the meterial on a nail on top of the hole.

Thanks for the suggestion Dwayne,and the interest.I will see what I can do.
