From seashore strolls to backyard birdhouses, Newfoundland surrounds me with bird life … from the finch to the eagle. To see the large colonies of guillemots, kittiwakes, gannets and puffins, or to enjoy the solitary soaring of an eagle high above, it’s almost impossible to go anywhere and not have birds surround you. Greater and lesser yellowlegs, plovers, blackbacked gulls, herring gulls, goldfinches and grosbeaks, loons and scoters, mergansers and turrs, grayjays, cormorants, crows and ducks…. the list goes on ….

“The air is crowded with birds, beautiful, tender, intelligent birds to whom life is a song.”

“George Henry Lewes”
