I'm in Newfoundland for the weekend, spent a day with an amazing local bird guide who took me to Cape St. Mary's. A wonderful place to see seabirds and wildlife. Had a fantastic day birding; 100,000 birds on the cliffs and 15 lifer birds (not all photographed) throughout the day. Today though was a letdown, I was booked for a boat tour to see Puffins but, strong winds cancelled all boat tours out of Bay Bulls, would have seen 1 000 000 birds, of these 225,000 puffins alone. Enjoy the pics!

Hopefully tomorrow I'll catch the resident Bald Eagles on their nests over-looking downtown St. John's. Great closeup views from Signal hill trail.

Beautiful series - thanks for sharing. We plan to visit Newfoundland in the summer, hope to see some of these beautiful birds.

Awesome...you'll have a great time! I can set you up with a guide, if you wish.

Great pix. Cape St. Mary's is fabulous - we went both times we were in Newfoundland.
