Barred Owl

 

 

Today was bitter bitter cold but still had to go for a walk in the woods, to cold for the beach and I am so glad that I did to witness this gorgeous barred owl in its  natural habitat on the snow covered trees!

I took this photo this morning along the shoreline in Baxter's Harbour  . Two eagles soared over head , what an amazing site to watch the eagles soar in the deep blue sky above , with calm waters and warm temperatures made for a spectacular journey along the Bay !

Evening Vistitor Pileated Woodpecker

Wow what a day started with a beach walk at Baxter's Harbour and Paddy's Beach then sat down just before supper and was surprised again at the site of a pileated woodpecker at the birdhouse and birdfeeder.What an amazing bird because of its size and how eye-catching the colors were.

Mother Nature provides us with such wonderful treasures !!!!!

Swallow at the Birdhouse

We have had gloomy, dark, foggy weather for the last couple of days but it is still warm . Wow what a surprise when I just happened to glimpse out the window this morning and seen this swallow sitting at the birdhouse . What vivid color this bird displays , I will be watching tomorrow morning to see if maybe they might nest in the birdhouse , I hope they do !!!!

Kestrel Falcon

I guess I was looking out the window just the right time to see what I believe was a kestrel falcon.

I have never seen one before so it was awesome to see one today . Whatever the type of bird it was , it was beautiful and fun research to learn more about our feathered friends !!!!

Birds Feeding In The Snow

The weather the last couple days has consisted on heavy flurries making everything snow covered . I captured these photos today while the snow was still on the trees as the weather is suppose to turn mild . Spring will arrive soon !!!!!!

Who Who !

This photo was taken this afternoon by a friend who lives close by and I thank her for allowing me to post the photo. What a treat it must have been to see this amazing bird , the owl appears to be so calm and mellow just enjoying a snowy afternoon in Feb.

Feeder fun with Celtic Music

I was listening to some celtic music when I was watching my bird feeder and I thought it would make a cool video, turn on your speakers !

Snow Bunting Birds In The Harbour

Backyard Birds of Winter in Nova Scotia

It was a very cold day in the harbour when I looked out of the window at my feeder to discover a type of bird I had never seen before. The name of the bird is snow bunting and after researching this bird I believe I was very lucky to have them at my feeder. Click on the link above it will tell you all about this beautiful bird. I will be looking tomorrow to see if they will return .

Downy Woodpecker

I took this video at my bird feeder yesterday [Feb.14] of a downy woodpecker. I could not believe how close the woodpecker let me walk up to it.

Beautiful Winter's Walk In Feb.[part01]

After the snowstorm yesterday I wanted to get out for a walk , the weather was so calm and the snow against the deep blue sky was breath-taking. The gold finches were in my feeder this morning, the eagles that were soaring so freely were at the beach and I spotted the robin in an apple tree on the way home. What a beautiful winter walk in the harbour !!!!!
