Peregrine

Driving through the village of St. Martins, N.B. this afternoon, I saw two large raptors sitting in a dead tree, and when I stopped to photograph them, realized they were peregrine falcons. They were nearly wiped out by DDT back in the day but have made a comeback around the Bay of Fundy. They must nest in the area, as they have been seen in the area before, but it's been years since I've seen them...so a very cool day!!

There are so many of them around right now, but they don't stay still for long. The light was so pretty this morning after another snowfall last night. Still fooling around with the autofocus on my camera....

The majestic Loon...

Common Loon doing the 'Penguin Dance' which is typically done when as a defensive display meant to intimidate a threat by making the loon appear larger and more aggressive. In this case there was a Goldeneye duck in the loons territory. The loon did finally chase the small duck out of it's territory.
