Ipswich Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis) ~ Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia
Felt like taking a trip through memory lane in the ol' archives. Came across this Ipswich Sparrow from last year.
A subspecies of the Savannah Sparrow, the Ipswich is larger and more pale then a typical Savannah. They can be found along the beaches and dunes in Nova Scotia.
Thanks for visiting!

Great Shearwater (Puffinus gravis) ~ German Bank, Nova Scotia, Canada
These agile monochromatic birds were coming in to our boat during the pelagic birding trip in Nova Scotia a few weeks ago. This one hit the 'brakes' and was getting ready to settle into the water showing off those fancy flippers.
Thanks for visiting!

Common Eider (Somateria mollissima) ~ Prince Edward Island, Canada
During one of our family trips to the beach in Prince Edward Island, I was surprised to see this large sea duck in relatively close to the shore. It was dabbling in a long swath of seaweed that was a few dozen feet from the beach. Fortunately, I had brought my camera along, and I waded out a bit into the water and snapped a few photos.
Thanks for visiting!
