Ran across a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers while walking the dog - although not that common in this area we do spot them from time to time and it's nice to see a pair setting up home near by.  One of our foxes was walking on the river ice yesterday morning and the deer are getting at the buds on our trees :(

Fair number of deer moving around, see them daily and the odd bob cat and fox track.  The attached pictures of Eastern Cougar are reportedly from a sighting Hanwell, New Brunswick Jan. 31st 2010.  More like "believe it or not"  :) 

If you zoom on the vehicle plate on one of the photos not shown here, it's not an NB Plate, maybe Ontario or 2009 Iowa Plate.

The last eastern cougar to be killed in Canada was shot near the Quebec-Maine border in 1938, and its remains are at the University of New Brunswick.

For those following cougar sightings have a look at New Brunswick.net writers corner by Barry L. Hatt.
