I observed my first flock of Bohemian Waxwings for 2017. It was a small flock of 15 birds. A good identification for this species is the rufous colored bottom which is evident in this flight photo. This is a western species but in winter they become nomadic and travel all the way to the east coast. In 2015 and 2016 flocks of more then a 1000 birds were observed in New Brunswick. I wonder what 2017 will bring us!

While walking a wooded trail this Red Squirrel approached and gave me the feeling I was trespassing!

A Lesser Yellowlegs just before landing!

I captured this snake crossing a trail and some how managed to pick up small stones on it's eye. Not something you see everyday.

Spring has sprung in NB.

I thought I was seeing double!

I captured this Merlin in a spruce tree that had just been occupied by a flock of Doves. They left very quickly and the Merlin perched for a few momen
