Wildlife.

lot of some what unusual wildlife activity in the near vicinity to the town of late.
Five moose have been seen close by. One cow and yearling are close to town, some times in outer fringes of town. Another cow and two your ones have also been spotted.
Also close is a black bear, it has been seen harassing the yearling moose, mother moose sent it packing, bear was seen sliding down a snow bank at high rate of speed.
A beaver is in one of the water ways, not sure which one.
A European starling has been seen, not unusual for up here, but not all that common either.
Earlier this week some one sighted some kind of humming bird, right in centre of town.

Seems the humming bird, if that what it is, has been coming back last couple of years.
Black bears have been hanging around near town last several years. They have been up on Nain Hill last several years, some times as close as near the back of our houses. Some have also been hanging around across the harbor; last year some people were even feeding one with fish guts, wildlife officials advised that this was not such a smart idea.

Only 13 more sleeps till the first arrival of the passenger/freight boat mv Northern Ranger. The freight only boat may or may not get here first, I think it is the mv Astron this year, but stand to be corrected.
