This American kestral sat on a wire overlooking the marshland in Tignish Shores.
Male and female Red breasted mergansers swam around with a Common merganser in a pond on the northwest coast.
Double crested cormorants stood on the ice watching other cormorants float in the water.
This Red breasted pheasant casually crossed the road in front of us one day and walked into a field. He wouldn’t turn around and pose.
Northern shovelers swam in a distant pond opposite Covehead and tested the zoom of my camera.
The Osprey returned to their nests overlooking the boardwalk.
Male and female Ring necked ducks swam in a pond on the side of the road near Indian River.
The shorebirds are on their way back. Yay!

What a fine bunch of feathered friends, Marie. Great shots, too. :-)
Oh how lovely! I really enjoyed the pheasant especially.
Enjoy your day.
I don't see those birds here. Oh... how I wish I could take pictures of those "exotic " creatures. :)
you are so knowledgeable!
Whaat wonderful birds. Tiz the season...only a little late this year.
The pheasant is my favourite.
Very pretty birds. You sure have a nice variety. Lovely photos, Marie!
WoW!!! you are seeing some really amazing ducks and birds - i am not jealous ;)
Feathered enchantment. My mouth would have dropped open in awe and my smiles would have split my face.
Thank you.
Your pictures are such a treat and also thanks for your recommendation of the writer Linden MacIntyre. I've not heard of him but am a voracious reader and look forward to getting acquainted.
You are lucky to have so many different birds! Must be a bird-watchers dream, your area! Andrea
Life is busting out all over.
I'm so impressed that you know what all the different water birds are . . . I call them all ducks :D Great photos. That pheasant is a treat!
I enjoy watching the birds Jan. The photos are a bonus.
The pheasant looks like the design was painted on, don’t you think, Mildred?
Catarina, if I can take those photos, anyone can. I have a point and shoot camera.
I am not really SW. i know enough to ask the people who know the birds.
They are here in full force now Mage.
I love the markings on that creature William.
We get a good vaariety of birds this time of year, Bill.
Debbie, you get a better variety in New Jersey For sure.
I feel the same every time I see a species I haven’t encountered before EC.
Be sure to read The Bishop’s Man, Ginnie.
We don’t get as many varieties as you do Andrea.
It is indeed, finally AC.
I did that too, Jenny, until I took an interest in them.
Love the ducks. I'm partial to them. I would love to see inside the osprey nest. I love to see what/how birds make their nests.
I would love to see inside that nest too Barbara.
It's so good when the birds begin to return after winter. Love the osprey, looks exactly like mine along the beach road.
It is interesting the osprey are the same there PDP. The birds there are often so different from those we have.
Love this post. Cheers Diane
You see them everywhere too, Diane. It amazes how many birds you will see when you open your eyes to them.
