Yellow-billed Loon, Newfoundland & Labrador, Trepassey April 13, 2017

http://alvanbuckley.blogspot.ca
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, Newfoundland, Lumsden 7 Feb 2016

http://brucemactavish1.blogspot.ca/
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.

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.
