--Apple-Mail-44-256074817 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; delsp=yes; format=flowed APRIL 20, 2012 - Canning Aboiteau: 160+ Canada geese. On my way south from Canning, just south of the Canard River along =20 Hwy. 358, a large stick nest in small deciduous trees that I had not =20 noticed before held an incubating red-tailed hawk (pretty sure it's a =20= hawk, red-tailed is presumed). Bob Thexton had a northern parula warbler in Bridgewater. Today on CBC's "Maritime Noon" with Bob Bancroft answering wildlife-=20 related questions (phone-in & other), Karen McKendry reported that =20 recently she found, collected, and identified a red admiral butterfly =20= that was road-killed in Halifax. She wondered if it had overwintered =20= in Nova Scotia, but probably it was part of that massive influx of =20 migrants from New England, about which John Klymko alerted all of us =20 just 4-5 days ago. After that there were lots of reports of rapidly =20 flying butterflies, mostly red admirals, all headed northeast =20 rapidly, in New Brunswick with smaller numbers in N.S. Norma Lee =20 MacLeod of Marnoon said she had read of massive numbers of =20 butterflies lately in Ontario. I Googled cbc.ca/butterfly and found this story of Apr. 19/12: Thousands of butterflies descend on Ottawa - Technology ... - CBC.ca 22 hours ago ... Dandelion patches in Ottawa and across Eastern =20 Canada have been playing host to hundreds of thousands of butterflies =20= in recent days due to ... www.cbc.ca/news/.../story/.../ottawa-big-butterfly-spring-=20 migration.html?... - Similar ----------------------- Tonight on CBC-TV's National News, it was reported that "trout" (lake =20= trout) not only get very big (30+ kg., 65 lbs.) in Great Bear Lake in =20= the NWT, but also appear to be evolving rapidly -- i.e., biologists =20 have identified five different forms, with different growth rates and =20= different diets. Here's the link to an article on this from the Edmonton Journal: NWT trout evolving at a rapid pace, Alta. scientists discover - 5 =20 days ago But when she and her colleagues netted a 23-kilogram lake trout in =20 Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories recently, she admits she =20= was a ... Vancouver Sun - 13 related articles =BB APRIL 21, 2012 - Yesterday Stan Riggs in Coldbrook reported that two =20 birds were building a nest on his back deck of his house -- he sent =20 some nice photos that showed they were eastern phoebes. On our neighbourhood walk, we saw 2 pileated woodpeckers along the =20 lower part of Chestnut Ave. One of them was making a feeding hole in =20= a living-but-over-the-hill deciduous tree. Then the pair flew up =20 into a big tree across the street and, from the wing-flapping I could =20= see, almost certainly copulated there (too distant to tell for =20 sure). It's hard to tell in such cases whether the copulation was =20 for fertilization or for "cementing the pair-bond". Our pink-flowering magnolia just opened its flowers over the past two =20= days, and the same thing is happening now all over town.= --Apple-Mail-44-256074817 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>APRIL = 20, 2012</b> - Canning Aboiteau: 160+ <b>Canada = geese</b>.</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; = margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal = 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: = 12.0px Helvetica">On my way south from Canning, just south of the Canard = River along Hwy. 358, a large <b>stick nest </b>in small deciduous trees = that I had not noticed before held an incubating <b>red-tailed hawk</b> = (pretty sure it's a hawk, red-tailed is presumed).</font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; = min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica">Bob = Thexton had a <b>northern parula</b> warbler in = Bridgewater.</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: = 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal = 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: = 12.0px Helvetica">Today on CBC's "Maritime Noon" with Bob Bancroft = answering wildlife-related questions (phone-in & other), Karen = McKendry reported that recently she found, collected, and identified a = <b>red admiral butterfly </b>that was road-killed in Halifax.
