Thanks Craig. Just one minor correction: Thanksgiving Day is not optional in New Brunswick. It is a statutory holiday. NB Days of Rest Act: laws.gnb.ca/en/document/...

I've been posting lots of Common Yellowthroat photos lately. But really, who's gonna complain? Look at this guy! Tantramar, #NewBrunswick, Canada September 2026 📸 #birds #warbler #COYE #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

I remember the Boots in the Eaton Centre back when I was at Ryerson in the late 80s. Alas, I had no occasion to make the same purchase you did. :(

I dunno, the skin on my throat hangs down a little lower every year...

Thanks Becky. I agree. The trick is figuring out which ones they are!

Lucky you. They never show up in my yard. I always have to go somewhere else to find them.

Thank you so much, Sean. That's very kind of you to say.

This is the uncropped version of the photo. Keep in mind, this was taken with an 800mm lens (so, around 16x magnification). You can imagine how hard it is to spot these guys with the naked eye! #birds

This Killdeer was doing a very good impression of a rock on the beach. I've enhanced the bird a bit to stand out more in this image, but they're awfully hard to spot! St. Andrews, #NewBrunswick, Canada June 2026 📸 #birds #shorebirds #KILL #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

Totally unacceptable, and disrespectful to Ma. You want to make use of their facilities, you patronize their business. A simple courtesy.

"Holistic" ... I see what you did there. ;) Anyway, of your listed options, I think it's probably number 2.

Yes, I suppose a recently emptied birdfeeder would be easier to install...
