494 days ago Marcel Roy made the following comment on the observation of Black-and-white Warbler posted on January 11, 2012: The Black-and-white Warbler, (Mniotilta varia), is a small New World warbler.

Female and juvenile plumages are similar, but duller and less streaked.
The breeding habitat is broadleaved or mixed woodland, preferably in wetter areas. Black-and-white Warblers nest on the ground, laying 4-5 eggs in a cup (reply...)

950 days ago Rosamond made the following comment on the observation of Woodland Caribou posted on October 12, 2010: Hi Roman:
I have photos (I couldn't upload)of Caribou in December with velvet, it was shedding then, and you can see it clearly, when I seen this I thought it was late, now reading you blog, I know it is late. Would a mild winter do this? Last year we did have a very mild winter for Labrador. (reply...)
1107 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Eastern Coyote posted on May 08, 2010: The hind print is smaller than the front print. The larger front foot has a much larger pad than the rear foot. When travelling, coyote tracks are more linear than dogs or foxes which tend to wander more. (reply...)
1107 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Eastern Coyote posted on May 08, 2010: Thus it is more likely to see coyote sign (track, scat, kill/scavenge sites) than the actual animal. The scat can come in many forms depending on scat age and contents. It can be easily mistaken for domestic dog, or fox scat. Coyote tracks are similar to a domestic dog, but can be distinguished by their pointy shape, while dog tracks are more circular. Coyote tracks usually show claw prints. (reply...)
1107 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Eastern Coyote posted on May 08, 2010: Coyotes are about the size of a collie. An adult male weights approximately 25 pounds and measures 120 cm in length. Coyotes are usually a buff grizzled grey coloured with white throat and belly and black-tipped guard hairs. The coyote sheds in June-July and thus appears much more slender in the summer than in winter. Coyotes are nocturnal and can be quite shy. (reply...)
1107 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Old Man's Beard (Usnea) posted on May 08, 2010: Usnea lichens can be easily identified by pulling back the outer sheath on the main stem. Usnea lichens have an elastic pure white chord running through the center of the main stem. Lichen species which resemble Usnea do not have this white cord, and appear grey-green throughout. Usnea lichens do not change color throughout the growing season as do lichen species which closely resemble Usnea. (reply...)
1108 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Black Bear posted on May 07, 2010: They are usually black although blong, brown, cinnamon and dark brown can also be observed. (reply...)
1108 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Boreal Felt Lichen posted on May 07, 2010: Boreal felt lichen in Newfoundland are most commonly found on balsam fir trees. The fir is a conifer, usually less than 15 m high, with flat, shiny green needles and erect cones 5-8 cm in length. Fir are common in a variety of habitats. Erioderma is most often found at approximately eye-level, and is usually somewhere between the size of a quarter or a loonie. It is often the darkest lichen on a tree and can sometimes be mistaken for Coccocarpia palmicola, which it often (but not always associated with). (reply...)
1108 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Woodland Caribou posted on May 07, 2010: Caribou tracks are distinguished from moose in that they are shorter, rounder and closer together. They also are characterized by a clear imprint of the dew claw (2nd and 4th digits) which are not as clearly visible in moose tracks, except when it is running. (reply...)
1108 days ago NL Nature Support made the following comment on the observation of Woodland Caribou posted on May 07, 2010: Caribou are smaller than moose, and average 110 cm at shoulder height for males, and 104 cm for females with average weights of 232 lbs for males and 177 lbs for females. Both males and females have antlers. Bucks grow antlers between May-July, with the velvet shedding by September and the antlers dropping between November and February. Average male antler length is 96 cm. Does develop antlers during the summer from June-September, and shed the velvet in late October. (reply...)
