Justin Time For Nature

Thanks to the Fredericton Nature Club for putting on a Gull Identification Workshop last month in Carleton Park. We observed four different species of gull and it was a lovely afternoon. Pictured here are mainly Ring-billed Gulls as well as one of Fredericton's finest Rock Pigeons.

Evening Grosbeaks | March 2022 | Fredericton, New Brunswick

For the past few days our neighbourhood has been graced by 40-60 Evening Grosbeaks. They’ve been busy feeding on maple keys, crab apples, high bush cranberries and black sunflower seeds. These birds are nomadic during the winter and this is the first I’ve seen them around our property.

I was photographing some Common Eiders from the Deer Island Ferry when this Black Guillemot decided to photobomb a couple frames. When viewing the upbeat and downbeat, you get a good look at the Black Guillemot’s non breeding/winter plumage. Taken March 8th, 2022.
