Found April 11th by Peter Shelton after an unprecedented movement of pack ice which forced hundreds of loons to seek shelter in the only sheltered harbour in the area. A first record for Atlantic Canada, and one of few for this side of the Atlantic ocean. Bird is fourth from left. See blog for more photos.

Fieldfare is much rarer in Newfoundland now than it was in the 1980s and early 1990s. This individual was a welcomed visitor while wary and difficult to photograph. Note the satin white under wing coverts.

Reported by Anne Marceau and has been visiting her yard for a couple days. Apparently the 6th record for Newfoundland and first since 2006.

Found today by Alvan Buckley feeding in surf with a few kittiwakes. Very few winter records for North America. No explanation for its completely unanticipated appearance.

With just a handful of provincial records, most of them old, local birders ticked off this one as their first in Newfoundland. It was found by Alison Mews on 20 Oct.

More Newfoundland birds here

Paul Jones Amateur photographer Newfoundland Bird Photographer, some Mammals, some Landscapes I have been a bird watcher for many years but have recently began to devote more time to photography. By chance I use Canon gear and am still trying to learn my way around the cameras and lenses. Most of my early pix were taken with a 30D and 300f4. Now I am using a 7D and a 1DM4 with a variety of telephoto lens from the 300f2.8 to the 800f5.6. I find most photography websites intimidating so I am just gradually learning on my own or picking up tips from other photographers - slow and steady. In addition to static portrait shots I like good images of moving birds in cluttered habitat, but I find they are a real challenge to secure.		© Paul Jones

Dolphin. Video. OMG.
Badly backlit, but leaping.

This Little Egret arrived this afternoon in Renews after a storm with far reaching SE winds followed by very strong SW winds. It was tired. Which continent did it last set foot on??? This is the 11th Little Egret for Newfoundland.
